I can never get yatse to work outside of network…it’ll play a couple songs and then freeze or completely stop playing and much more problems…are there settings I’m missing cause I really like the ui but I’m at a loss on how to configure it to be my go to player

@jspurgeon09

In theory there’s nothing to do, please as the application says open an issue with logs so I can see the error and fix it.

Hi, I have started using Yatse with Android Auto, while Plex client does not work as expected.

I have noticed two small “issues” so far, wondering if there is a workaround /fix (maybe i am missing something) :

  1. “Recently played” does not show anything…
  2. In most cases posters are not displayed during playback in AA

Any advice appreciated

EDIT: pt. 2 fixed, i have downloaded all thumbnails to offline cache using Library settings >Expert >Manage cache
This seems to resolve the problem
But recently played doesn’t seem to work even outside of AA…

Please provide logs How to get debug information and open a proper issue :slight_smile:

I have logged ‘recently played’ issue on Yatse forum

How do I switch between Home Users who share the same login? I do not find it in the UI yet, is it supported?

This is not yet supported as no one asked for it until now :slight_smile:

I’ve looked previously how to do that and it’s not that complicated see Feature Requests - Yatse community to open a feature request so I do not forget.

Just a side note Yatse works differently than Plex so the way it will be will be that the home user is selected at connection, if you need to change the user often you create another connection and switch the whole connection.
Does not change a thing in usage but it will be a little different.
