Happy little tune this, long live the 80s! -Eric

I note my Home App (Android) has updated on the quiet to firmware version 3.4.8, dated 30 Dec 2025. Still only 12 presets though. -Eric

I use the Ultra to stream Greatest Hits Radio which traditionally has the probably the poorest audio output of any of the IR stations I listen to. I'm not sure whether it was my imagination or wishful thinking but after having received the 24th Dec update, the audio response was a lot more...

This is totally weird, my second Ultra has not yet received the latest Firmware Version 5.2.739648, dated 20251224. My one Ultra received the update last week Monday 29th December, the other unit still not. I normally receive an update that requests updating both Ultras simultaneously but seems...

Just a final update on using APK, it works wonders BUT: If you already have the normal Material Skin installed in your phone which defaults to Chrome (in my case), delete the app entirely. Then re-install APK, it sorts things out using hocus-pocus and the MAI info appears as in my pic above. -Eric

That did it!I'm pretty dumb with all this new-fangled Android stuff, I was raised on Commodore PET32 Basic, then a mighty leap into DOS 3.1, and as soon as I learnt that Bill Gates introduces me to Windows 3(?) and subsequently the mighty Windows 95. Took me a while to find where to find the...

Yea, I was wondering about that too. Text was set to XXL for my convenience, I have reduced it to L for the pic below. At least now the player controls are showing and the artwork fits into the display, unlike my other pic. The Hamburger top left is still very small however. I'll give it a day...

Sorry, I was working from memory. The interface setting is set for "Mobile", not Android. The screen I get is similar to yours but for me to select the streaming device, I have to physically enlarge the screen display, yet your display has decent-sized icons. Once I enlarge the display in order...

I love it on my Desktop PC, but it's awkward to use on the Android phone. In the settings, I selected Android but this makes no difference, it displays the Desktop Material screen. I have used the Default skin display as well, it is easier to utilise than Material on the phone. And yet I see...

Yep, apologies if my previous reply was not clear, I meant I was looking for a suitable android controller for my various Wiim & SB streamers. FWIW, they are all running via a RPi 3B. -Eric

No, thank you for that, I am going to start experimenting with what works best for me. I originally used Squeezelite many years ago but dropped it when it deleted my playlist after I added a new IR station. I see it has been updated recently so will give it another go. Tying the Ultra to LMS...

Using LMS, I do get the exact screen that you posted, but I have not yet tied my Ultras to Lyrion, I was hoping to find a decent stream using the Wiim app I searched for "Lyrion Music Server" in Google Playstore on my Android phone, it lists it but does not show any actual LMS app. Plenty of...

Yep, noticed that too. Adjusting the volume control has no effect on it either, I have not yet played with the VU meter input settings. -Eric

I suppose the way to overcome this is to load the Ultras on to LMS, the Planet Radio link plays perfectly on my SB Touch. I was not keen to because the Wiim app is so easy to use on my cellphone, LMS using Material or Default skin is clumsy. -Eric
