Are you talking about this one?

All I can suggest is that you raise an issue at LMS github repo - as it is LMS that is returning "comment / comment"

Thanks, I'll do that.

EDIT: I just noticed I have a 2 disc album where I didn't add a Comment tag for disc 1 but did for disc 2 and it shows it like this:

Sorry, no idea. You could check your tags, perhaps there are multiple tags? Also check the "comments" table in LMS's "library.db" file. SQLiteBrowser is a free, open source, GUI for SQLite database files.

Where do the names in the comment tag appear? I tried setting this up as a test and my discs are still labelled Disc 1 and Disc 2.

Looks like that might be it.

You need to enable using comment as disc title in Material's server-side settings. (i.e. the settings accessed from "Setttings -> Server -> Material Skin" in Material)

That looks similar to my problem. I just opened an issue, sorry if it's a duplicate.

I did but still no sign of a disc name. I also tried selecting "Collapse disks" and that didn't work either.

It works OK on my Pi running Raspberry OS but not on Windows 10. When it does work I don't see the comment duplicated.

This should be addressed in the next 8.3 build. Please give it a try.

Server settings menu text size in Android webview wrapper

In the Android webview wrapper, if I go to "Server Settings"



and then open the dropdown menu, the text size on the menu is huge, compared with that on the main UI.



It's also not themed the same — ie, it's black on white, rather than white on black — but that's less of a UX issue for me; I'd just like much more compact menu text.

(Apologies if this has been raised previously. I did search the thread, but couldn't find anything relevant.)

Yeah, this bugs me to. The font is not as large for me, but the white background with black text is a pain. But, I'm not sure how to resolve. These pop-up menus are drawn by the application, not the web page - so not Material Skin directly. Your screenshot looks like its from the APK, which uses Android's WebView - and I'm not sure how to change the menu colours there, as the rest of the APKs UI is dark. Even in chrome the menu has larger text than the web page.

Thanks for the quick reply.

A shame it's not easily fixable (although, obviously, if it were you'd already have done it).

But set against how generally excellent MS is, it's small potatoes* (it's not often I need to browse into Server Settings).

And yes, I'm using the APK (sorry, I should have stated that in my OP).

* an odd expression, now I think about it, as small potatoes (eg, Jersey royals) are generally considered much better than big ones.

Enlarging Volume Sliders on Manage Players screen

Hi Craig,
I was wondering if it would be possible to enlarge the volume slider width in the Manage Players Screen? It's hard to make small changes in volume in different zones with the existing slider width.

Not really, as you can see from your screenshot there is no more space. You can rotate your phone to landscape, or use the buttons to the left/right of the slider.

@pmendiuk,
if you touch the loudspeaker symbols on the left and right side of the slider then you can decrease/increase the volume in small steps.
The step size can be defined in the settings of "Interface" with the parameter 'Volume Step'.
