Naim app driving me bonkers!

Posted by: dave marshall on 15 September 2018

Hi Chaps,

Since the arrival of my ND555 yesterday, I'm now playing music via Minimserver on my NAS, instead of using my HDX to serve to an NDS, using nServe as the control, since the HDX is on it's way back to Salisbury to be re-Naimed.

On nServe, tapping on a track offered the options of "play this track" or "play album from this track", but now that I'm back using the Naim app, it wants to play only the single track selected, which once completed, goes into "Ready" mode.

Surely there's a way of having the app play the complete album, without having to compile a playlist?

Or is the problem more likely to be within Minimserver?

Harrumph.

I'm no good with screen shots, but if the album you wish to listen to is showing do you have 3 dots in the top right hand corner.

Touch on those then select play album.

Apologies if this is teaching you to suck eggs etc., or if I have completely misunderstood.

Dave, Tap on the gear wheel, top right, tap Other Settings, tap Tap For Options. That should sort you out.

Good Man TK421............... sorted!!!!

I've been using nServe for so long that I'd become somewhat unfamiliar with the Naim app.

Happy bunny once again, eggs duly sucked. 

Many thanks,

Dave.

n-Serve is not the app to control the NAS & Minimserver;  it needs the 'Naim app' from Apple App Store for iOS or Google Play for Android.

Nice one Dave.

Glad I could help. It does take some getting used to, if in doubt press anything and everything is my mantra.

Enjoy the new streamer.

ATB,

Mike

No, as, mentioned though, I was previously having to use nServe to control my HDX server, as it's UpnP server software no longer worked.

All sorted now, just that I had become unfamiliar with the Naim app.

There is an even easier way to play a whole album. If you open the album view in the Naim app, you will see above the track listing, there are traditional play, pause, forward and back icons. If you tap the play icon, it plays the whole album immediately (jumping over any queue or playlist).
