For the audio nerds: the now-playing card now shows a bold line under the album name with the streaming platform, audio format/quality, and bitrate.

What's new

A new line appears below the album name whenever Volumio provides the data, e.g.:

TIDAL 44.1kHz/16bit  ·  1411 kbps

Built from Volumio's service, trackType, samplerate, bitdepth, and bitrate fields (buildMetaLine() in src/main.cpp). It degrades gracefully — only shown when there's actually something to show, since not every Volumio service/plugin populates all of these.

Bug fix

Found via real playback: Volumio's trackType field for Tidal streams reports the service name itself ("Tidal") rather than an audio codec, which duplicated the platform segment shown right next to it (Tidal · TIDAL 44.1kHz/16bit). Fixed — the platform segment is now skipped whenever trackType already matches it.

Known limitations

  • Only verified against Tidal; other services may leave some or all of these fields empty, or have their own quirks like the one just fixed.
  • Same as prior releases: only the Tidal album art path is fully verified, and the settings/OTA portal remains unauthenticated (fine on a trusted LAN).
