MA Remote Control bug

[Faby]

- X-Sabre 3, update to latest firmware 1.0.4 build003, wired ethernet connection 
- MA Remote app version 3.2.1 for Android devices

Since last firmware update 1.0.4 the MA Remote App for Android sistematically crashes when going to "My favourites" > "Playlists" > "More" .
I've 18 playlists in my Tidal connected account. The app by default lists only 5 playlists, with the option "more" for expanding the full list.
After the last update, when clicking "more" the app crashes and get immediately closed.
I've already tried to clean cache, reinstall , and also installed and verified the same issue on other 2 different brand new Android phones.
In my experience only the Android version is affected by this bug. I've tried the iOS app version using an old iPad and it works fine.

Does Matrix team can confirm the bug, and if it will be addressed in a next release ?

Hi Faby,
Sorry for the late reply.
We tested the 3.2.1 MA app with X-SABRE 3 (firmware 1.0.4 build 003), the app did not crash when entering "My favourites" > "Playlists" > "More". (there are more than 20 playlists)
Can you send me the connents (all the title) of your TIDAL collected favourate playlist?
If we can find the problem which leads the app crashed, we can fix it.
Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Hello 

Yesterday I update to the newest version of the MA Remote App V3.2.7 
The app was working really fine before this new version. 
Now the app take a few seconds to discover the Matrix Element DAC. 
It looks like a delay in the signal between the App and the DAC 

Hopefully it will be a bug fix for this 

Best regards

I noticed this as well.  It's also not the first time the app has had this issue.

Hi Juan and glc650,
The developers will look into the issue you reported. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Unfortunately, a lot of function not working in Tidal in the new 3.2.8 app (element i and oneplus nord2)

[Burkhardt]

The current MA Remote is crashing on two Android devices (Android 8.1.0 and 9.0) while starting.
Also a complete reinstalling doesn't solve this problem.

Edit: It seems, that the problem only occurs, while the Element i2 is acting (playing) as Roon endpoint. After stopping the streaming, the app doesn't crash.
But: Formerly versions from the MA remote app are having not this problem.
