It does have a flashing blue light to indicate it is on.

Thanks. I'll keep the link and look at a purchase in a few weeks.

Will do.

Have you tried putting the Playlist on a USB drive and playing it from the AxiomAir UI? This works really well.

You mean if i had two or three playlists perhaps in .m3u file format, loaded all those songs in the 3 playlists onto a USB stick, that i could use the Axiom GUI to load a m3u playlist?
Or are you saying that i'd had to dump the playlist songs on the USB and then select all those songs into the Axiom GUI at that point?

I have played songs from a USB stick but unless i got a small stick, my stick 'sticks' out and i have to leave the door open.
(i bet if Peter were here he'd jump all over that statement)

It is a "last button pushed" order of priority so if someone plays something over Bluetooth it will take over from what was playing on WiFi and vise versa. We do however recommend you stop playing one thing before going to the next because sometimes a timing error will occur if you don't, and you will get odd song title and volume things that require a song switch or volume touch to clear.

Also good to know.
I hope that note gets put into the new user manual.

Good to know. It wasn't anywhere in the renderer choice selections?
Did reinstalling Bubble have any effect?
Is this the free or paid version?

I have paid version running on a few different android devices. It didn't appear as a renderer on any device. I tried with AA in hotspot mode and I tried with the AA connected through ethernet to my router.

Also interesting to know. I wonder if this has anything to do with JRiver or the BT module specifically (signal interpretation and enhancement? I wouldn't think so though since the BT adapter isn't the point of audio signal interpretation)

My listening was done using foobar mobile on Android. The bluEtooth dongle I am using is iogear GBU521.

I did the install on 2 Axiom Airs, and now the multi-room capability does not work at all for me. Also, from the app I used to be able to switch control from one AA to another by clicking on the AA image on the bottom of the screen. Now, when I do that I get the "spinning circle of death" and never get connected. It is very difficult to control AAs from the app if you cannot switch from one to another.

Is there any way to get back to the previous release?

What is the new multi-room implementation. I can't get multi-device working at all.

Hi SOAD,

I will have to do some investigating into Bubble and JRiver to answer you properly on these.

We do not have any V1 software for the Pi 3B+ so I would stick with the Pi3.

Interesting on the Volume difference with Bluetooth. I have not found that myself. Perhaps some others can let us know what they experience. It is always worth a reboot of your AxiomAir to see if that helps.

Hi Chesseroo,

You can make the Playlists on the USB drive beforehand or make them from the AxiomAir UI.

Hi linkstatic,

I would try rebooting both your AxiomAirs. You should definitely be able to click on either one from the Android App and multi-room should also work. I did a test today to see if it could be a Pi2 and Pi3 difference between your AxiomAirs but that all work both for selecting the one I wanted to control and creating a multi-room group from my Android App no problem.

It is possible to go back to the original code but it requires a reflash of your SD Card. If you want to do this let me know and I can send you the details for it.

Ian,

I am not using an Android device. I use apple iPads and an iPhone to control the AAs. I have rebooted several times with the same results. Also my AAs appear twice on my network with 2 different ip addresses. This never happened before.

I think I would like to revert back to the old software. The Spotify worked great but the multi-device, multi-room capability is more important to me.

Thanks

Hi linkstatic,

This is all very bizarre. From either my Android or Apple devices multi-room works here at my place. I will send you the instructions for going back separately.
