Note: This feature requires a MinimServer full license.

You can activate the free 30-day trial license to try this. This provides all the functionality of a full license.

Just doing this, but note that the field now has an entry indexArtwork=auto
I added
, flowControl=2x and it seemed happy, but the save was greyed out,
so I overwrote the with the indexArtwork=auto with flowControl=2x
and saved.

Have I done the correct thing ? Will over-writing the indexArtwork=auto give other problems ?

Anyway, just tried it, and it stuttered on track 3 in a similar way to before.

So, setting it to flowControl=3x, save, clearing the tracklist select a different album & trying again. Immediately stuttered. Clear tracklist, then go back to previous album, but track 3. Immediately stuttered. Clear playlist & re-browse to same album, go to playlist and press the arrow button instead of a track (plays list from start). Immediately stuttering.

It is the same story throughout - on 1st play, it gets a bit into the playlist, then fails.
Once failed, it stays in fail mode, stuttering on whatever is requested next - until it settles down for another few-tracks-then-fail.

My partner says she doesn't have a clear mental picture of which part of the steaming chain does what, and I have to concur - I'll probably start a new thread along those lines. For example, once Bubble has presented a playlist to Minim, those commands execute and steaming starts, is it Bubble that controls the streaming flow or a combo of that and Minim ? My partner asks, if the phone with Bubble on it goes out of range, does the stream stop ?
