Also okay đź‘Ť
Will I also get "my" Now Playing button in the bottom bar? 🤔

Much better symbols. Really appreciate you embracing the feedback. It was definitely worth it!
By the way, something I noticed in Apple Music I thought was cool - maybe neat to see it in the app.
For the volume and progress sliders you can tap and hold from anywhere and drag to adjust. This means you don’t need to grab the progress indicator point and drag.
I see this as more beneficial for bigger screens like iPads. Do you guys have any thoughts about that?

1.14 (4259) has now been officially released on AppStore.
Thanks to everyone who supported testing, who reported issues and made suggestions and who of course reviewed the code, merged, built and uploaded it!
Next steps:
- TF build with current state of NowPlaying / UI rework
- Migrating to Xcode 15, will be shared via TF as dedicated build with this change only
- Start adding more changes to mainline

Bug: When entering the iPad NowPlaying fullscreen and then stopping playback (or it ends end of playlist) you are stuck in fullscreen and need to restart the app.

Same content as the official release 1.14 (4259), but built with Xcode 15 SDK. Please report any glitch which is not seen with 1.14.

Yep, was thinking the same.
Edit:
I now found two solutions to keep the play controls visible.
1. Make play controls visible once the iPad stack view is initialized. This avoids a visual glitch during startup, but keeps the play control visible when no server is connected.
2. Let visibility of play controls follow the connection status (connected = controls visible, not connected = controls invisible).
The latter for me feels more natural, but of course you can only leave fullscreen if the server connection is up. Imho this is not really a problem as a user cannot do anything without a server connection.

Currently out of town but used VPN to remote into Kodi system.
I like the new gradient style without header at the top.
I’ll be honest though, I’d much prefer a much darker gradient. I feel it’s way too bright currently.
Also the gradient seems to have some severe banding issues. It’s not very smooth. Is this something that can be smoothed out?
Also, did you deliberately adjust the volume slider? It’s smaller and not centered anymore. Seems to be offset to the left a little.

When I get home this weekend I can share a high resolution gradient png or any format you want. You can crop for any size and shape you need from there. I can create a few variants of gradient colors so we are all happy with the color.
I took a look at the source code for this app a few days back. Objective C seems very verbose to me. I am familiar with C# and have a bit of experience with configuring the gui with that platform. To me it seems very intuitive. Although with everything being manual work and having to support so many devices I can see how it is a nightmare for you to mess with it.
I agree, gradient color is important to get right. It cannot interfere with existing UI elements.
