Adding NAS folders as favorites and accessing them in iOS app

Hi all, since the most recent updates, I can finally browse my NAS music library folders again on the iOS app, and play all songs in a (sub)folder, just like I could in the old app and still can do in the macOS app.

In that macOS app, I can also still add any library (sub)folder to my favorites, such that I quickly navigate to, well, my favorite (sub)folders. The iOS app doesn’t support this, however. What’s more, when I add a folder to the favorites in the macOS app, it shows up under my favorites in the iOS app, but it is not accessible from the home screen, with the message “No longer available. Press Edit Home to delete.” 

Is this planned to be fixed in a coming update? I sure hope it does, as this is the prime way for me to select music to play. 

Thanks, 

Bjorn

Hi @brdsutte 

Thanks for your post!

We are aware of an issue with marking Music Library albums as favourites from an Android controller, and another one with pinning a Music Library based collection to the Home Screen not working. These issues will be fixed in future updates, but I do not have an estimate for when that might be.

I hope this helps.

Maybe I misunderstood @controlav but  I thought he was talking of never seen ANY favorites and not just library ones. 

Regarding to library favorites I just said that I can confirm your experiences. 

Yes, I was, on my system Favorites have NEVER shown up in the mobile app, just an error message. It is because I have Favorites of many types (in order to test my own apps), and something in there breaks the new mobile and web app:

Thats strange… Even a title from any streaming service will result in an error if setting it to favorites?

And as said for me and I think most other users setting a library song or album to favorites also works. 

Playing your library titles from song or album view works fine?
