Albums always start on 2nd track

That & a lot of other problems have all been reported in the new app.  Its frustrating for sure.

Might be best to be patient & wait for Apple iOS8.1 on Monday & then the next Naim app release - but no idea when that will be. 

Thanks Mike. 

Gonna look for a suggestions/wish list thread.

Edit.

OK, don't see one but I'd like some where on the screen in the app where you get the large album art when the album is playing to say track number/total track number.  Or at least an option for this.

 Bottom right corner of the screen is 3 lines & dots, press that to toggle between the large picture & the tracks list screens.

Be careful touching the big picture screen as its like a carousel & swiping it will change the playing track.

Hi Jota & Mike

I noticed exactly the same problem yesterday.  I’ve been going into the album, so that the album art is at the top with the tracks listed below.  You will notice that all the track listings are bold apart from the first track.  I then press the “…” at the top right of the screen and then Play now.  All the tracks are queued and indeed it starts with the second track.   In my case the first track is queued as the last track.  However, there is an alternative which works. Go to the same location and instead of pressing “…”, quickly press the first track.  All tracks are queued in the correct order.

Do you get the same results?

Hi Nigel,  I had the missing track problem but now it seems to always start on 1st track in the last few days, the bugs & glitches in this thing seem to come & go. 

Then new Apple upgrade iOS 8.1 available from Monday might change something else.   

That's how I do it. 

I have right now done some tests with freshly upgraded iOS 8.1, the problem still exists.

I think I didn't have this problem with the first version of the new naim app.

So it could have come with the second version (1st update) of the new app.

When I queue a new album, you can always see in the "status message bar" at the bottom: first it takes only 1 track, then the remaining tracks of the album. Why not all tracks of the whole album in one go? That should cure this problem.

Whether I play compressed AAC or uncompressed AIFF, over Synology's own UPnP server or over Minim server, with an older iPad3 or a newer iPad Air - I was not able to detect any differences of this strange behaviour by now... (all with actual software versions)

When I use the "queue next" instead of the "play now" from the "..." menu, all tracks of the album get queued in one go and in the right order. I just have to press play at the bottom manually to start the new queue.

Sometimes though, the round handle on the progress bar in the queue screen is missing. Therefore you can't scroll through the track to seek for a special location inside the track... oh, well.

I 'discovered' Nigel's workaround at some point over the last few days! 

Ideally we'll see a fix.

OK,    I've spent some time on this & found why I was not getting the missing track-1 problem - It was the way I operated the app.

When I hit the 3 dots at the top right of the screen it loads the tracks starting from track-2 & puts track-1 last.  

I watched the loading sequence closely & saw that it actually loads track-1 first then the remaining tracks a fraction of a second later - the screen shows "1 track was added" then that changes to "9 tracks was added" (with a 9 track album). I do not recall being able to see that with iOS-8,  whereas the faster response that we appear to have now with iOS-8.1,  does show it. 

But going back to nStream 3,  I always started an album by touching track 1,  so doing the same with the new app 4.1 is just carrying over the habit & explains why I was not getting the missing (misplaced) track 1
