i tried berryaudio the first time today. Installation was straight forward.
My UX impressions so far:
- why do i have to press the Power button on the Home screen to access any menu or functionality? - that is contra intuitive. Is Berryaudio device actually in a standby mode or is that just UI? At least let me click anywhere on the Home screen..
- Main menu -> give us some arrows left and right - i really searched for Settings
- Airplay Sink is only visible in the Network after selecting it in berryaudio ui - thats bad UX - I have to first access berryaudio ui and then use my sender device to connect.. (let me enable Aircast Sink in Settings and done..)
- Airplay does not work - after enabling airplay i can connect a device but berryaudio stays mute and tells me: "No device connected"
- Multiroom: i can see my Snapcast Server - but i can't connect. One time multi room page straight away stopped loading UI until i rebooted. Next time i always get a "'bool' object has no attribute 'uri'" error message. On one occasion i had to reboot to get any audio afterwards, on another i could at least play a radio afterwards..
- what does the icon next to volume? (the little screen with the play button inside)
- Bluetooth works well until it crashes the whole appliance - same as Airplay: why do i need to interact with the UI to enable it after first setup?
- why is apply/save settings a reload button on the top right?
+ Radio stations pre-configured
+ overall nice and snappy UI
still some way to go.. Keep it up - i try again in a Year.
