Updates

Stake: For now there is a simple grep-like search in each tag's list: Artist, Composer etc. Do you see it?
Peter StreamMagic: I just released a new build 1.0.2(12) to app store; it should fix the volume slider and a couple of other issues. Let me know if it is still an issue.
Android users: Unlike Apple, Google is very slow reviewing. Even a trivial fix takes several days, and this is just for closed testing, whereupon it will take 12 testers and at least two weeks to apply for general release on Google Play. I'll let you know when a working test version is out.

I also need some feedback on other features
* launchpad with or without satellite.
* CarPlay / Android auto. If everything works correctly, especially iOS because I am an android user and can only use the simulator. Android seems to work fine in my car so far.

If you want to try the satellite without installing your own in the cloud, I can temporarily launch a shared one for testing purposes. But let me know where you live, the roundtrip to US might be an issue if you are on another continent. I can open one in Europe or Asia on Google cloud temporarily.

The good news for iOS is that volume buttons work with a nonlocal renderer and Apple did not object as I feared.

Next in line:
* Full server side search by several tags.
* Video. This is primarily developed with music and minim in mind. Video files are grayed out for now but in theory nothing prevents this app from sending video from to a DLNA compliant renderer like a TV, at least on local LAN. Launchpad might need more transcoding support though and it may not be feasible if it lives on a router with limited resources. But I'll experiment with this.
