The queue will be held on the Mini (accessible from the WHA on another device), but if the WiiM Home app on the Shanling stops, so does playback given it's the source.

Are you using the iOS WHA?

I don't use Emby but in testing see multiple instances under Home Music Share, one of which is always empty, whilst the other occasionally displays content. I'm running Emby on Windows with the Android WHA. I wonder if it's related to the platform (Emby or WHA). It's got to be a WHA issue.

I've raised a ticket with WiiM to PAUSE rather than STOP playback and will update back here with any progress. Whilst it looks like Symfonium is going to provide a workaround, changing state should ensure it works with all control points e.g. BubbleUPnP.

Just like its desktop counterpart, the mobile app concatenates the tracks and sends it as a continuous audio stream. It might be slightly more compatible, but it's not a very elegant solution.

I can't vouch for the iOS app or the tiny hardware screens but the Android app is certainly fixed.

Ok, then the bug lies with Media Server and disabling transcoding is a workaround, as the metadata used on the Now Playing screen comes from the track listing, which doesn't depend on how the audio is streamed. As a quick test I configured MinimServer to transcode to WAV - so the served file...

Are you using the iOS WiiM Home App (WHA)? All metadata (Album, Title, Artist etc) should be as provided by the server, not sourced from the files, so this appears to be a bug in the iOS WHA. I raised a ticket about this last August but apparently they only fixed it in the Android WHA. This...

The WHA stores a copy (transformed for presentation purposes) of the database from the USB drive, so you'll need to perform a rescan each time you switch to make sure they're in sync.

You can Play/Shuffle from the Tracks index:

If you mean, are there any solutions better than SMB, then try MinimServer (or Plex).

How are you starting playback as it sounds like you've only one track in the queue.

As stated before, Symfonium, PlexAmp and Lyrion (I think) have smart playlists so should all be able to handle that. I can vouch for Symfonium with Lightweight Music Server but I see you're on iOS, so PlexAmp (Chromecast only) or Lyrion might work for you.

The WHA displays TrackNumber + Title in album listings and only Title on the Now Playing screen (first line), so, assuming your FLAC files aren't to blame, this sounds like a Media Server issue to me, though I don't have a Synology to test with.

It doesn't matter how you rip the files (as long as you're using a ripper that supports AccurateRip/CTDB) as long as Tag&Scanner is producing compliant tags. So this only affects FLAC files, and the problem is visible throughout the WiiM Home App (WHA) i.e. track listings, Now Playing, Queue...
