Lumin App Issue

New here. Decided to register because I’ve seen how helpful you have been Peter with the many Lumin questions.

Anyway, I just got my Lumin D2 in today and have it all set up. Simple connection to my NAS no issues. So I’ve just been trying to familiarize myself with the Lumin app, and I’ve hit my first issue. I’m hoping you or anyone might be able to help. I think I’m just missing something simple, and I’m going to feel like an idiot, but when I’m browsing Tidal albums for instance and I select a track to play from an album it won’t automatically play the following track from the album, unless I add the entire album to the playlist screen. So I guess my question is how do I play a tidal album in full without having to add that album to a playlist? It appears every track I select to play from tidal adds it to a playlist screen.

Sirry that hat was long winded. I hope it makes sense what I’m trying to ask.
 
Lumin conforms to the OpenHome standard, therefore it is playlist oriented. In its native mode (i.e. not AirPlay, Roon, Spotify Connect, radio, etc.) it can only play a music by having a music added to the playlist. Therefore, you will have to add the whole album to playlist in order to play the whole album.

To add the whole album, please tap and hold the album art, then choose one of the add buttons in the pop up menu.
 
Thanks for the info, and I’m happy to learn I’m not going crazy. It’s not a big deal, and I’m already getting more comfortable with it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something obvious...which is always possible. :D

Was also wondering your recommended settings for the D2. I currently have it setup using the recommended settings according to the website, and using the further refined dsd settings.

Thanks again for all of the help you provide, and thanks Joe for the welcome!
 
PhilMarlowe , welcome to the forum and i am sure you will be very pleased with your Lumin.
 
Hi PhilMarlowe. The press&hold feature is easily missed (and is a FAQ).
This is the section of the App support page that refers to it:

So I just noticed an issue last night. When I add an album, or multiple tracks, from tidal to the playlist to play one after another the D2 is just skipping past every track except for the first one o click on and play. After that first song ends, it shows that it moves to the next track but instead of playing the track it pauses for a moment, and then goes to the next track in the playlist, pauses and then goes to the ne t track, etc.

The d2 has no problem playing an album I add to the playlist from my personal media server files. It plays all of the individual album tracks one after the other. This issue is only happening with Tidal songs.

Thoughts? I’ve tried power on/off, deleting the playlist and creating new one. The only thing I haven’t done is a factory reset yet.
 
If that only occurs with Tidal: logout Tidal from Lumin and all other devices, web browsers, and your family members' devices. Power cycle Wi-Fi router, wait for 5 minutes.
power cycle D2, then login Tidal.

If that does not work, change router DNS to 8.8.8.8. Then power cycle D2.
 
I never tried a complete power cycle of the d2, so I did that and it seems to have fixed it. Alls good, thanks!
 
In my view the Lumin app is an example of very good UI design, but there doesn't seem to be a wish list yet, so I add mine here:

1. Bigger back arrow button, it's the one thing I use all the time while surfing Qobuz and I have big fingers
2. Possibility of showing Qobuz pdf booklets.
 
Hi, I really like the Lumin app (and the other comparable apps as well ie HR Teac and Esoteric). Very helpful to browse music on NAS and on Tidal and Qobuz. I use it as a control point with a Bubbleupnp server on my Marantz ND8006 (openhome enabled).

But I have some problems with the Lumin app (and the other comparable apps as well) and I hope you can advice me here to resolve them.
I have also some suggestions as you will find below.

1- on iOS
a- Lumin app (and the other apps since the recent update) freeze when I don't use the iphone/ipad for a short while (5-10mn). So I have to kill the app and reopen it in order to get the right played song displayed again. This is critical for me so I am really impatient to have your advice/explanation on this.
b- I really enjoy the possibility to sort albums and playlists (by date, artist, name) when browsing on Tidal. Is it possible to make it happen when using Qobuz as well?
c- It would be helpful to enable the browsing back gesture (like it is the case in iPad) : maybe by creating tabs in the bottom of the app (playing now, playlist, library).

2- on Android
a- It is disappointing that sorting capabilities are not enabled in Android as it is in iOS. Would be helpful to make it happen in Tidal and Qobuz (as Bubbleupnp does).

Please contact me if you need more info.
Best.
 
Hi,
Just updated to Lumin 6.1.14 on my IOS 13.3 ipad. The listing of the Albums, etc is ok. But whenever I tap to play a song, it crashes and quit the app.
I tried hard resetting my iPad and reinstall ingthe app, no luck.
Pls help fix.
