A week ago we released Lumin app version 6.1.9 for iOS 13. We should have another minor update shortly.

If anybody has found any new issue with Lumin app on iOS 13 or iCloud, please let me know.

Thanks.
 
Hi Peter. I'll pass along a couple of suggestions here if it is ok. While streaming tidal or quobuz while playing song if tap on counter circle and slide control back, there are delays and the timer time jumps around. It doesn't immediatly go to a selected time. Also, if the slider could be longer or wider, it would allow going to a specifictime in the song easier. With the tidal or bluesound app, the slider is almost the entire width of the screen. Because of the small slider, its hard to go back and hear specific passages. Thanks.
 
Peter, if logged into Tidal on ipad then log in on phone, tidal logs me out of ipad. That is ok because tidal prohibits using from 2 devices at one time I think. However, I think I remember in bluesound it did not log me out but just gave a message saying you could not use on 2 devices. If you can't make that happen maybe you could at least have Lumin OS remember the username and password so it doesn't have to be completely re-entered.
 
When doing a Tidal searching, I think the Lumin app headings should match Tidals exactly. The Lumin app headings include the artist name which is a little off because the heading results contain other artists, tracks, albums, etc. The headings should also be plurals. For example, a search on Carly Simon on the Tidal app brings up Top Results, Tracks, Artists, Albums, Playlists. The Lumin app adds Carly Simon before bit the results aren't all Carly Simon. The results also include more than one result so the headings should be plural. The Lumin app is also missing the Tidal heading Top Results.
 
I can login to Tidal on an Aurender and be loged into Tidal in my office on an NAD M10. Never been logged out of Tidal on either device. Lumin might have a bug in its Tidal implementation.
 
If close lumin app on ipad or ipad automatically closes app for screen timeout, when reopen app the My Music then Settings menus open. It would be nice not to have to close those menus each time and rather go to where left off when app closed.
 
It would be very cool to be able to have Tidal and Quobuz have some type of option to show HiRes and MQA first in search results.

Actually the Lumin players and streamers store your Tidal username and password in the machine, and will automatically log back on after power cycle or as necessary if a Tidal music is streamed.

You need to logout and re-login from Tidal only if something goes wrong. This shouldn't be occurring on a regular basis.

Search results are provided from Tidal / Qobuz services directly.

We probably do more prebuffering from streaming services than other systems (including Roon), in order to cope with a few users' streaming bandwidth or regional Tidal issues. The slower to load is therefore by design.

I can only say that this does not happen for me , i use Ipad and Iphone lumin apps depending on whats
most handy at the time i need to use it....and have not encountered what you you do.
I am also not being locked out and have to re-enter my password and username.
Seems like you might have some kind of bug somewhere.
 
We have released another update of Lumin app.

By the way Roon or Photoshop users should not update Mac OS to Catalina.
 
Hhm, I have issues with LUMIN app disconnecting from a Bubble UPNP / MinimServer running on a Mac mini (macOS Mojave) - sorry no LUMIN hardware. All apps are the most recent release, as of today. LUMIN would “forget” the server and hence access to the playlist, Tidal etc. The LUMIN pop up box in the app would be empty. Linn Kazoo would find the server always, so it is definitely available. A force quit (swipe up) of LUMIN app on iPad Pro 11 (iPadOS 13.2) would solve this issue.
 
Sorry for the double posting. Was not sure if the first message was accepted and then ...

If that works for you, perhaps you may consider turning off auto update.
 
No, I mean that if this version of the app works for you, then you may keep using it. You may want to turn off auto update for iOS app store to avoid any future updates breaking the operation, since Bubble is not tested.
