Collecting bugs of 2nd gen element series products

[Dub]

Here's a video of what happened when I tried to use Tidal connect with the Element M2... I don't know what's going on here but it sure as hell doesn't work as intended.
Latest software, Tidal downloaded a few minutes before use from the Apple app store (firmware v1.0.8, build008), iPad (7th gen. iPadOS 16.5).

I selected a song from tidal, hit play and THIS happened. Please explain.

I'm getting SERIOUS regrets of buying this thing...
