Now long filenames are constantly moving from left to right causing a very unpleasant effect.
How can I disable that terrible new feature?
I can’t find a way to revert to the peaceful static lists.
Honestly, I think these changes should be optional.
Can you clarify? Do you mean long track names? They have always moved left to right in banner format if long enough. Very common for us classical music lovers.
No, I mean Album names (folder names) on the Source Screen. Upnp (minimserver in my case).
The screen where you pick an album to queue and listen to.
All moving in that screen.
Say, I want to pick a Mahler symphony 6, I have 14 versions and since folder (album) names are moving it is very annoying to see which is which. One is showing the conductor name, another one the recording label… you have to wait for it to scroll to the point you need.
Also, that many lines in motion at a time is somehow disturbing.
Tomorrow I will try to post a screenshot to clarify.
Thanks, I am looking forward to your screenshot and what you are saying does sound unacceptable. In fact after reading some of the reports so far I am not inclined to do the update as the notes do not seem to indicate any advantage to me over v.1.4.3. @Ermos experience with iOS ( iPad Air) is also of concern as I no longer have an android alternative.
@Phil please note.
Here (old) I can easily pich my choice:
Here (new) it is a mess:
And the screenshot doesn’t reflect the scroll movement, even worse.
@Phil please
Thanks.
In order to consider the mess you are seeing my initial concern is that the images [posted by you imply that it may be that a eason is that Album name appears not to be accordance with ID3 protocol. Instead you have a lengthy concatenation of album name, artist name, label identity, format, catalogue number. All in a single line instead of the predetermined fields in accordance with ID3 that MinimServer uses.So the question is, how have you created the metadata ( tagging)?
Your Mosaic navigation page using MinimServer should appear more like this ( Mosaic v.1.43):
Yes the available number of characters and spaces means that there may be truncation but it doesn’t matter as the album cover is also shown.
