Audio Pro gapless?

[scottm]

Hi, I recently got an Audio Pro A10 mkII (non-WiiM) for a second room. I'm enjoying it but have an issue with gapless plyback.

Using the WHA or the Audio Pro app to play local media (served by MinimServer or local to phone) gaps are inserted between tracks on gapless albums.
The albums play gapless if I use foobar mobile as the control point.

This isn't an issue when playing on my WiiM Pro.

If I play to the 2 devices as a group the issue occurs when Audio Pro is the lead device (i.e. both devices insert a gap), but doesn't occur when WiiM Pro is the lead (i.e. both devices play gapless)

Any Audio Pro users have this problem? Or anyone know of a setting that can resolve this?

Thanks, Scott.

This is obviously a compatibility/comunication problem between the WHA (and the AP app for that matter) with the A10.

Foobar mobile doesn‘t have this limitation, it just uses UPnP and its own settings. The problem here is that you have no volume control via FB2k mobile ( my experience).

Best ask in the AP forum if there is such a thing or directly with AP. I wouldn‘t mention WiiM in the comunication with them though. That might drive them up the wall ..

Sounds like the A10 firmware doesn’t support gapless and I suspect foobar gets round that in some manner. Maybe our resident upnp guru @simbun can shed some light on the issue…

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 didn't find an Audio Pro forum (think there's only a Facebook page and I don't have an account) but raised a ticket with AP themselves asking whether gapless should be supported. Their response - if you think Foobar is better, keep using that.

They don't strike me as being exactly a customer focused company. It's a minor issue so guess I'll just live with it/use workaround.
