Direct select the Spotify input with remote?
Posted by: ricsimas on 01 January 2015
This doesn't seem possible with the remote, just the app. I wanted to be able to set up a "Listen to Spotify" activity on the Harmony which would not require me to go through the Naim app to do so, but is it possible?
ND5XS, BTW.

You can choose the Spotify input via the remote (I've just tried it) but it says 'use spotify app' to choose the music. It looks like you are stuck with the app.
What input was that, would you remember? I tried all of them and it never selected Spotify.
I'm OK with the Spotify app, I just don't want to go through the extra step of using the Naim app for it (I'm real lazy, I know).

You have to start with the Naim App. With a properly updated Naim player, Spotify appears as an input along side UPnP, iRadio, USB/iPod, etc.
I think it might be possible by looking in Settings->Input Settings or Settings->System Automation... Thought I remembered there being settings to map certain input buttons on the remote to certain inputs.
Pressing the 'up' or 'down' buttons on your remote will cycle through the inputs (unless disabled in 'Handset Keys' setup menu).
Yeah, you can cycle through them, but I don't think you can choose it directly using one of the input buttons on the remote.
You can select Spotify as one of the options on the remote by changing the inputs on the main Unit.
I've just assigned Spotify to the AV button.

Also, like with FM and iRadio on the "tuner" button, I think you can overload all the input select buttons to toggle between two sources...

I guess what this shows is that one should read the manual first.
Thanks!
