- More customisation of Now Playing screen is now possible including:
- Volume controls
- Image size (or you can hide the foreground image completely)
- Display of album title and year.
Remember you can quickly get from the Now Playing screen to its settings by long pressing the toolbar.
- Some UPnP renderer settings are now specified per renderer eg. Gapless.
- To get to these renderer specific settings , tap the corresponding settings icon in the 'Select Playback Device' screen or you can get there via Settings => UPnP/DLNA
- There are a few more UPnP renderer settings:
- The 'Maximum volume' setting allows you to set a ceiling on the volume level that the app can set. This is intended to protect precious hi-fi equipment against fat fingers on the new volume slider
- The 'Force track advance' setting was added to fix track advance issues with Bose Soundtouch speakers. It may also work with other renderers that have track advance issues.
- The app is now available in German. This will be the default language displayed if your device language is German.
- The app has been partially translated to Russian and Italian. To activate these languages go to Settings => Language.
- There is now the ability to bookmark tracks (eg audiobooks) so they resume where they left off (enable this feature via Settings > Now Playing > Enable Bookmarks). Once enabled, you'll see an 'Add Bookmark' item when opening the 3-dot menu on the Now Playing screen. Once a bookmark has been added to a track, its position will be updated automatically. This will not work with most UPnP renderers (which is why it is not enabled by default) but should work when playing to your local Android device and Chromecasts.
