Uniti edit display options?

Posted by: dave-mac on 14 January 2018

Is there a way (when using spotify) of having the unit display the track detail view full time, and not revert back to the album cover view after a few seconds? Even better, is there a way of accessing this view? The online 'manual' is pretty unhelpful and a pain to use.

Unfortunately not - at least not with the current firmware. The ability to change (or even switch off) the display is on many people’s wish list for the future.

No it’s not possible annoylingly, it will always revert to album cover unless I’ve missed something. I sent a suggestion to Naim about this for future firmware upgrades, I suggested that the music button on remote could latch on whatever was selected. It’s particularly annoying when say listening to radio paradise and youre wondering who the artist is and have to grab the remote or open the app

Ah ok, cheers. Out of interest then, how do you access the view in the photo above?

You stand right in front of the screen, and the proximity sensor temporarily changes the screen for you! Or, you look at your iPad.

The view in the photo is a bit odd as it’s showing both views in a split screen, I suspect it’s a photoshopped publicity shot

That shows the view with the small thumbnail above the track timeline, not the same view unfortunately.

Hmm, I hope you're wrong, as surely that's dodgy advertising at best (image taken from Naims website). I'd also be interested on how to access the view at the bottom (again, taken from Naims website).

Well unless I’ve completely missed something on the functionality of my Atom those views don’t exist so misleading early marketing shots I suspect, happy to be proved wrong though

Don't get me started on the missleading images on the Naim site of the new uniti range and the functions that don't exist or might some day!

My Atom doesn't get that side-by-side screen either.   I either have the full size album art or the track info with art thumbnail above. The music/track button to the right of the home button switches between them but it doesn't stick... reverts to the full album art.

I can see why they changed it....  in the side-by-side view, the title text needs cropping too aggressively, and shrinking the font size to compensate would make it illegible from most normal viewing distances.  I'm happy with the layouts but it would be nice to make the track info screen stick.
