Firmware updates and changelogs of element S (bug collecting)

[Philip_2702]

Not sure if this the right place, but a few things...

1. App (or comms between Element S and app)... is flaky. When app is opened, no tracks are listed in local music "Artist" list. The list sometimes (eventually) populates, but otherwise I have to use rescan, to make list reappear.

2. Also, sometimes, if I press play, nothing happens, just a symbol, like the app is just thinking, but music does not play.

3. I use USB and Coax outputs for different purposes. It would be really nice to have the ability to select outputs via the app, rather than the streamer touch screen.

I'm running the app on a Pixel 7 pro, BTW.

Hi, sorry for the bad experiences.
Where are the music stored? In a flash disk, harddrive or a NAS?  What's the condition of your network?

I will suggest the app team to add the output select to the remote control in MA Remote App. Thanks for your suggestion.
 the device screen.

Music is stored on a Synology DS418 NAS, connected via powerline adapter to Element S.

I did also notice some things today...

1. I was using the Coaxial output and noticed that the app was reportong Sample Rate and Bit depth in the app and on the front screen of the element S, but when I was using USB output later, the Sample Rate and Bit Depth was not displayed in the App or on the device screen.

2. App was displaying the correct track details and album artwork, but device screen showed corrct track details, but incorrect artwork. All of my albums are sorted into folders and have embedded artwork in the individual files and a Cover art jpg, called "Folder.jpg", so it was quite strange to see a Nils Frahm Track with Joy Division artwork :-)

3. One other feature that would be nice, is to have the ability to be able to display music via "Album Artist" tags, as well as the default "Artist" tag.
