Does it need a beta firmware? I got the app update it doesn’t do it.

I’m not on beta firmware.

It does need beta firmware and you need to fill a form in to get it like the old days. There is a new thread about it.

Are you signing up? I know you like rc especially independent with sub.

I’m not testing the L/R correction with sub since I use a separate device for room correction and bass management.

I would if it was as simple as clicking a link in the app but I'm not doing it by filling in a form.

 

[Skull]

I got the app update but no firmware update yet usually it’s the other way around
Hopefully it will arrive soon

It's now possible to move and rename Preset entries. Funny thing is that all my Presets were renamed automatically with a timestamp appended after the original name, after the update.

Hi hgo58,

This is a huge mistake, we will fix this issue ASAP.

 

[Maurizio]

I updated the firmware, updated the app to 3.1.4, and cleared the app storage. I'm still not seeing the new VU meters. Am I missing something?

If you don't see the new VuMeters you haven't lost anything because, as I said, they are horrible, useless and unreadable.
Anyway, this time a strange thing happened. You can only select them from the IOS App. In the Android App this option is not there and I don't understand why. It's the first time it happens.
To summarize:
In my IPAD I can select the meters
In my Android tablet the option is not there

 

[Wiimer]

Yes it is Could be Android vs iOS ? Mime is the former

To summarize:
In my IPAD I can select the meters
In my Android tablet the option is not there

Thanks @Maurizio for solving the mystery, could be a bug in the Android app .

No meters for me also, on Android all firmware/app updated.
Smoother HDMI ARC playback is quoted as a feature in this update, what does that actually mean? I was unaware of any problems.

I'm not sure of the details, but my Amp pro sometimes produces noise when played back in bitstream. And I'm thinking this has something to do with the noise that happens with wireless Dolby.
(I do not use HDMI on Ultra.)

I am hoping this will be resolved.

What does ‘Move Presets’ mean?

Change the order, so (for example) you can create a new one and make it Preset 1?

You can slide the 12 Presets around to the order you want. Just as you can with a playlist.
