The control app thread

[Donuk]

I suppose I am one of the long term proponents of LUMIN control app, (free).
I have tried most of those available to use with my Linn streamer and Melco NAS.
I also do not want to use an app that requires a computer to be running in the background. My tablet is enough....

I have noticed over the years that Lumin's habit of not finding the network is a complaint that comes up occasionally.

Given that all networks, in my experience, misbehave from time to time, and normally have to be rebooted, I have found Lumin no worse than the others.

On my system Lumin never has any trouble finding my NAS and sometimes is a bit slow to find my streamer. Particularly if the app is left open and the tablet goes to sleep. Closing the app (sliding it off the screen), and reopening it, usually solves this.

I notes that the Lumin app has gone through three upgrades in recent weeks, all claiming to "improve device discovery".

I haven't noticed any real changes - the app continues to work fine.

But if you have found in the past that Lumin is not as responsive as you would have liked, perhaps give it another go now..
