Naim app and TIDAL - 520 songs added!

Posted by: Cattytown on 02 December 2015

I have a new Uniti2 and am using the app on Android.

App version 1.6, build 777. The Uniti2 is on 4.4. Android V6.0

 

When I am just playing from a queue (My favoured way of listening to music - just keep adding stuff, a bit like a jukebox) I search, I find something I want to add to the queue and tap the three dots. More often than not instead of bringing up the menu that gives things like play next, favourite,, add to queue, I just get the message that 520 (the number varies, but is normally in the hundreds) 

Does anyone else get this, or is it me? any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Paul.

I think it is about how long you touch the 3 dots for. I recently changed phones and I have to leave my finger on the dots a little longer to get the option to add a track, otherwise it just adds the whole album or folder.

I'll try to pay more attention to timing - I *thought*  had tried both long and short touches...

 

Thanks,

Just given it a try - either quick taps or long holds were adding many tracks at a time ....

I suspect you might be making the same mistake I made when the Naim app first appeared, which is to add using the ... symbol at the top R of the screen. This adds the entire list on your screen to the play queue, so it may even be attempting to add your entire library, but the maximum capacity of the play queue is 500 tracks.

If you use the ... symbol next to an individual track or album, it just adds that one to the queue.

Alas that's the one I am using - cover art to the left, track info then three dots to the right.

I have tried it on the phone too, and get the same behaviour there.

Have you enabled 'tap for options' in 'other settings' in the app? That should fix it.

I don't seem to have that option available. It's also a little unpredictable when it will behave as I would like, and when it just adds loads!

I think 'tap for options' might be iOS only at the moment. Very odd that you select just one track and it tries to add hundreds. I'll have another play this evening...

For me the odd thing is that it appears inconsistent - I can't see anything I am doing differently and sometimes it brings up the options menu, sometimes it adds the lot :-(

Paul, I've had another play with this, but I can't replicate your problem. Maybe different Android OS versions or devices vary, but mine seems to behave itself. Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it? Other than that, I'm out of ideas.

(By the way, I was wrong about 'tap for options' being iOS only, it's on the Android app too, but in a different place in the settings menu. I doubt this will help you, but FWIW it's in Settings > Input Settings > UPnP)

It's either the app or me! I get it on my phone as well as on my tablet.

I have enabled the tap for options under uPnP just in case - stranger things have worked in the past.

Delete and re-install was one of the fist things I thought of! Followed by installing on a different device.

They are both Nexus, so as clean Android as you can get.

Thanks for the ideas.

Paul.
