Known Issues

  1. Audio Player does not work or may not work correctly if one of the following apps activated:
  2. Audio Player does not work or may not work correctly with the following browsers:
    • Microsoft Internet Explorer
    • Microsoft Edge
    • Opera
  3. Mobile browsers may be restricted in functionality and handling.
  4. Due to performance limitations of the interface, the following types of external storage are not recommended:
    • WebDAV
  5. Display of metadata in the sidebar and on public shares do not work if the shared file is not yet scanned or excluded from scanning by Audio Player. (See Specific Media Folder – Exclude Selection.)
  6. If a newly sorted playlist is played, it can lead to an incorrect marking of the track being played after navigating in different lists. This affects only the display because the originally started playlist continues to play in the appropriate order.
  7. Local playlist files do not work yet. As of version 2.2.0 Audio Player initially only supports stream URLs, e.g. from radio stations.
  8. Stream URLs are limited to detectable MIME types within the links. Other URLs may not work – depending on the browser you’re using.
  9. Moving a previously scanned audio file outside the defined media folder does not affect Audio Player. To remove the track from Audio Player you have to reset and rescan the library. Have in mind, that this also removes your self-created Standard Playlists.
