Hi Mike,
Can you give me a screenshot of your controller showing no more random and repeat button?
Thanks for #LivingHiFi -
Here you are. Occurs on both the ‘home’ screen (first pic, using a playlist) and when you have the focus on the input (second pic, using an album). This is on Windows 11 btw

Hi Mike,
Please send me screenshot of your controller version as well? I am not able to recreate your issue, you can see with my screenshots.0 -
Mike, try maximizing the window.
If it's below 1100 px wide it looks like it's disappearing.0 -
Thanks for the rapid response. I guess its working as designed and I did not notice this before:
- Pic 1: Minimum window size is pretty big...and at that size the three UI elements dropped are the random, repeat, and the music quality indicator (CD/MQA...), even though there is lots of blank space available
- Pic2: Going a little bigger shows these elements
- Pic 3: Going even bigger retains them but shifts the music quality indicator to the right
Changes I would suggest that seem obvious
- Min window size should be much smaller
- Never allow the track info (repeat/random/quality) to disappear
- Tie the track quality info to either the play state or the selection...don't 'float' it between the two

BTW in min window mode you ALSO lose the three dot option...which is really another bad UI choice. Look at Pic 1 vs Pic 2

I'm wondering about the reapeat and random button too in the BlueOs controller too.
When I play Spotify no random and no repeat button is visible, in the normal windows state or in fullscreen mode.
When I play USB, it is there.
I know its in the api of spotify, because on my former Onkyo system with the Windows store tool OnkRemote it is visible and useable when I play spotify connect.
Another issue is that when you play a Spotify track the backround is black, when you do other sources the cover picture is showing with a blurry effect in the background. Why is this not working for the Spotify connect source?
I made some screenshots here on my Windows 11 laptop with a full HD screen and the BluOs controller version 3.18.
