I really wish Roon would come out with an app that would control poly (sd card) without having to be on the same network as your server.
I have tried and paid for lots of IOS apps in the last few days to control poly when not on my home network and think I have decided mconnect is probably the best all around.
8player pro is nice but I can’t seem to get it to play gapless with my live albums.
Rigelian refuses to display my album art located in my flac folders.
JPlay doesn’t display my album art correctly, it distorts it somehow and doesn’t have a browse by folder option unless I am missing it. For some reason it only shows some of my albums with only a song or 2. Plus the yearly fee is absurd.
Neutron seems to be ok, but it has quite a few options that I haven’t quite figured out if they do anything when utilizing poly.
Is JRiver an option?
Is anyone utilizing anything else?
Do any of these apps play directly from the poly to mojo 2 or do they all stream to the app and then back to poly? I only ask because it seems the volume control works on most of the apps.
For your album art, did you save a file as cover.jpg in each folder? The MPD on poly only recognizes cover.jpg (or png) album art files. Rigelian has an okay album art retrieval function, but it's not nearly Roon level.
You can use mp3 tag to batch create cover.jpg files in each album folder.
Doing the above, both Rigelian and MAFA display all my album art.
