Lyrion & Ultra

[castalla]

Does the Ultra display metadata changes for Internet radio stations, eg. NDR 1? Using a mini via upnp only the initial metadata image is shown & never updates. (all this using the WHA interface.).

Anybody got an answer?

Ah-ha... My Pro shows the metadata changes (squeezelite mode) - so I guess the Ultra will do the same.

So now, just what are the Ultra screen dimensions (h x w)?

On my ultra no artwork is shown but the text changes, much like the app, when playing thru vtuner. Where do you play it from on LMS?

RNP mainly via ARD Videothek.

Also works via Tunein (cos I'm non-uk)

I’m being thick tonight clearly - can’t see it under RNP or elsewhere in LMS…

I think you also need the ARD Videothek plugin

Slowly getting there…

Yes, ARD needed.

The TuneIn display of artwork is hit'n'miss - some tracks show, many don't when only the station logo is displayed.

Finally got it running and the artwork shows on the Ultra as it does in the app. However, there’s a bug in my iPad app which means my artwork isn’t displayed there while the Ultra’s is.

Thanks for the confirmation. Thinking about adding an Ultra... not really needed but....

Pity the node icon seems so iffy - no chromecast, no upnp... No way to use with LMS. Nice screen though.

Hmm? The node has airplay, but I've never had much luck with the airplay bridge in LMS. I'll give it a miss. The Wiims are a far better option with squeezelite. And the BLUOS radio & music services are too USA oriented.
