Serento: The audiophile UPnP controller app for iOS/macOS

[serento]

Hi lyapounov.

I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with Serento. Let me be clear on a point: I did not develop Serento to be a folder browser. Serento syncs with your server to enable a superior experience by offering greater organisational options like bookmarks, tags, playlists, instant syncing across devices and so on. This is not possible with folder browsing. If folder browsing is your main way of exploring your server then you should stick with Lumin or mConnect, or whatever app you enjoy. Serento is not for that and I never claimed it is.

Regarding the rest of the issues, Serento displays the album artwork placed in a folder just fine. I do not know why its not displaying in your case. Without a look at your logs it's difficult to say. But any combination of cover, folder, jpeg, jpg or png is displayed as the folder image.

Also, please understand that Serento is at version 1.0. No application was perfect at 1.0. All my competitors have years on the market, enough time to iron out most of the bugs. Serento will get there, in time, but faster than others, that's a promise.

Hi Serento, I take your point that Serento is only at version 1.0, and from the discussion above it is clear that it still has some way to go before it is really fit for purpose.

But I will never experience this because I installed Serento shortly after you issued it here. And now my installation has expired, so when you make adjustments I will not see them.

I also feel that I will be happiest staying with Lumin rather than do a speculative purchase of an expensive product that still has some way to go.

Again, good luck, but not for me. Donuk

Hi Donuk,

When you feel like testing Serento again (watch my updates here) send me a private message and I'll start over your trial.
