Issues in Mac controller 4.0.2

Issues I noticed immediacy running this new version (macOS 13.6 (Ventura))

* Track progress bar in the mini-player often moves far too quickly and/or reverses direction. It moves many times the true progress of the playing track, then goes back a bit (or a lot), moves forward too fast again, repeats.

* Search context in the left sidebar resets to TuneIn on every launch. I have no interest in TuneIn. If I set this to Library, that setting should stick 

(I have no interest in TuneIn or Radio Paradise and dislike that they are permanently in the side bar. Why can't they be hidden like any other music service?)

* If you click on TuneIn, then Library, in the side bar, the list of TuneIn options  (Favourites, Local Radio, etc.) is shown twice, not the Library.

* Many albums are not showing artwork, where they used to before. I have tried reindexing library, rebuilding index. The artwork meets the parameters BluOS accepts, and they are nowhere near the largest artwork that do show correctly.

  Thanks for these Simon.

  Look for rapid updates to all our BluOS Controller Apps as we try to get as many minor issues resolved as quickly as possible. These items you listed are already on our QA Teams list for Product Development.

  Sorry for the inconvenience

  Another issue is that sometimes the mini-player does not show any information or transport controls. All I see is the volume, play queue and output device, the rest of the bar is blank. Clicking the mini-player doesn't show the detailed player view. Need to restart app to get it back

  Months later, most of these are still issues in the latest 4.2.1 version

  Mini player still disappears completely, requiring the app to be restarted

  Inconsistent progress display between mini and full player

  Fast or reversing track progress bar movement

  Search not remembering the selected search context between launches

  And the app hasn't been updated in 2 months... I thought 4.0 would allow for faster development. Marketing talk.
