Serento: The audiophile UPnP controller app for iOS/macOS

[Peter StreamMagic]

Hi Serento,

The name you see there is the one that the streamer sends to the app. So it's just a name, it does not mean it does not see it's OpenHome capabilities. You can change the name to whatever you want. In the Audio Output sheet in the now playing screen or in the settings you can see if the streamer supports OpenHome or not.

I can change the name, you are right, but Serento automatically changed the original name "woonkamer" (living room) into Linn woonkamer UPnP AV.
In the now playing screen it is displayed as Linn woonkamer DLNA .
The Linn rendered can act as both UPnP AV and OpenHome so I think Serento sees it as UPnP AV because Serento isn't fully OpenHome compatible. ( It doesn't read the playlist stored in the renderer)


I will look into the issue with the genres. Out of hundreds of users Serento has you are the only one with this genre issue. There must be something very specific with your setup. I will try to get to the bottom of this.

Strange, I have been using this setup since 2012 with a with a variety of apps and renderers, genre has always showed up.
There is nothing specific with my setup.

You are right, Serento does not use indexArtwork because of a very practical reason: 99% of users do not have artist images. But, I will add support for indexArtwork in the next version. Currently, artist images are downloaded from the internet.

Sounds good.
Some MinimServer users have spent lots of time creating a indexArtwork folder to add images as they like the most.
It is a petty when these images are overruled by an automated, non controlled, download proces from the internet.

Serento does not support intelligent browsing. I will look into it, but I'm not promising anything.

I know there are some folder browsing users amongst the MinimServer community, but a lot of users use MinimServer for its intelligent browsing capability.
I think that a app builder that recomands a specific server to use with his app at least should respect / support this design philosophy.

Good luck with the further development of your app; you still have a long way to go before you can call it the "best".
