What does Star do in Home Music Share?

[Southern]

Dumb question and answer might be obvious - but not to me.


When I select artists in Home Music Share - Plex Media Server - Music - (etc) - what does it actually do?
thanks!

I'd imagine it would add it to your favourites in the wiim app somewhere.

Ah but where - the great mystery. NOT under the Favourites tab thats for certain.

Home Music Share > Virtual Folder > Bookmarks

They're best avoided though as, depending on the server, they're not guaranteed to persist across rescans.

EDIT: In my very quick (one rescan and a restart) test it seems that Plex does retain the browsing ids across rescans so the bookmarks should persist. The only thing that changes is the URL of the albumart which is strange, but that'll only be an issue if you clear the WiiM app cache.

Thanks very much - it’s a bit faster to use that route.

Not dumb at all. I have the same question and since nothing is written documented anywhere, you must either ask or experiment. <sees opportunity... 'WiiM Home App for Dummies'. (And I currently have many other questions I am sure I will figure out in a month but, it would be nice to read it and not need to query someone else who figured it out already). Albeit they are awfully nice and helpful.

Although it doesn’t expressly cover bookmarks, the WiiM Help Center is a good place to start, and I find googling “WiiM faq <subject>” can often lead you to an appropriate entry there, unfortunately just not for this feature…

Fair enough. I am not complaining mind you. I that they add a few features every week.
