Long album titles on Home Music Shares not shown completely

[MrSoul4470]

Unfortunately WiiM doesn't react on tickets from inside their app anymore, so I try it here:

As the thread title says, long album titles on Home Music Shares are not shown completely, which makes it really hard often to distinguish different album version. The album title is just cut off at the end of the line instead of continuing in another line.

You might say, this is a rare problem, but I have to say it is not. I have quite a large collection and often various releases of the same album. It is a problem I face basically every day.

The Foobar2000 app is a good example of how to make it better. I have added 2 screenshots of the view in the WiiM app compared to how it looks in Foobar2000.

I would really appreciate if WiiM concentrated on making the app how it is work flawlessly, instead of adding new features all the time.

I agree with you but I think relying on the WiiM app for navigating local music is never going to be ideal particularly with a large library. Just using the WiiM players as endpoints for a proper music server is always going to be a better experience IMHO.

Ah, my mistake. I wasn't clear. I meant local as local here coming from my server. Navigation basically works great even with 40.000+ songs coming from foobar2000. No issue there.

Mehhhh. No. It's not a decent endpoint for playing local music. Not at all.

When I said endpoint, I meant as a target for other apps. It's a very robust UPnP implementation.

I totally agree on all that. If only the presentation of album and track names were better.

Ah OK. I never use the WiiM app at all for local music. I navigate using LMS and Material Skin on my phone. Material Skin actually has a similar issue where long titles are not completely visible. I can work around it by turning my phone in landscape mode to see the full title
