Scenes for playlists, podcasts and audiobooks; mini player with power toggle; playback start without timeout
- Scenes: Scenes now play playlists, podcasts and audiobooks too – with playback control per scene: Resume, Shuffle, In order or Newest episode. (Unlimited); When a scene starts on this device, the app signs in the local player itself if needed
- Mini player: On devices that can be switched on and off, the bar shows the power toggle while nothing is playing; during playback it shows “Next”. (iPhone)
- Playback: Large or smart playlists start without “Request timeout”: the app waits while the server is still preparing, tells you so – and play/pause stays usable meanwhile; Title and artwork appear as soon as audio plays on this device, even if the server sends its update later; An album is played or queued as a whole; queueing and “Add to playlist” no longer time out; After a phone call, music on this device picks up exactly where the call came in – in CarPlay too; Volume normalization and crossfade follow the queue as in Music Assistant 2.10: per player “Server default”, On or Off – and the app shows the actual state
- Players: If your own iPhone is missing from the player picker, it now tells you why – with a button to turn it on or reconnect; Local player also works with servers running under a custom hostname without encryption; The Live Activity on the Lock Screen stays put instead of vanishing after two seconds
- Library: An album opened from the artist view shows all its tracks – including those where single tracks are by other artists
