ND5 XS: Switching between Tuner and NAS issue

Posted by: Kurt L on 18 April 2015

I've a question dealing with switching between the Tuner module and the UPnP source via the Android app.

 

Given following scenario:

1) I select an album of my NAS and start playing it.

2) During playback of my album, I switch to a radio station preset via the app.

3) Radio station starts playing

 

Now, I would like to switch back to my playlist on my NAS. When selecting that input, I get my default album view, but the radio station keeps playing. This is also displayed at the bottom of the app.

I can select a track, and play it, but I don't see my playlist anymore...

 

I found a workaround by selecting my NAS input by the real remote. At that moment, the app displays on the bottom my playlist again in "stopped" state, allowing me to start playing the list again.

 

Anyone a more straightforward way of doing this?

 

Thanks

 Hi, not sure whether I can help, as I use Apple app - though I'm happy to try to see if same happens to me in same scenario, if no-one else responds, though I'm away from home and would have to wait for the weekend. But could you please first clarify, is that ND5XS with the tuner option, or simply with Internet radio? I only have the latter.

Hi,

 

I indeed have the FM/DAB module as well.

 

In total, I've 3 inputs: FM, DAB & UPnP (NAS).

 

I experience similar behavior when swithing either from FM or DAB to the NAS.

Maybe the same applies to inputs other than FM & DAB?

 

Would be great if you could give it a try.

 

Thanks,

k

Hi,

 

with my ND5XS, without tuner.

 

When playing something from the uPNP server, selecting iRadio immediately starts playing the last radio station selected. Going back to the uPNP server the radio keeps playing until I reselect something to play from the NAS. The last play queue is still there, but my last place in it lost.

 

I've tried the current Naim app on iPad, and the older n-stream version on and older iPad, both the same (apart from the fact that the older app is easier to navigate to the queue!).

 

It sounds like this is the same oddity you describe  - if it's a nuisance it's something to suggest Naim fix at next upgrade, though I'm unclear as to the correct mechanism to suggest it, or whether whether they take note of suggestions appearing in random threads here...

Hi,

 

In the meantime I've contacted NAIM Support. Just got a reply that it is indeed a known issue and something scheduled to be fixed in one of the future App updates.
