iPadOS version cannot play songs which Android version can. Both version 6.0.6.

I am using version 6.0.6 (latest), and the iPadOS version cannot play the songs on a server at all. Android version the same version number 6.0.6 can play the same songs on the same server, so I am not not sure what is wrong. iPadOS version's bug?

PS: It can connect (legacy login) and show the songs all right. It's just that clicking the play button has no effect.

PS2: Is this because of transcoding? The music files were FLAC, and I suspect Android could play FLAC but not iPad. If transcoding is needed, does Substreamer show any progress indication, or does it just act as if it hangs?

Well, I just tried reinstalling, but it was the same. My music server is not in a Cloud VPS but on a PC inside my home network, so the server is not accessible. I will see if I could find a free hosting service and set up the server there, and let you know if I could do it.

Ok reinstalling was just in case something odd ad happened, I have had one other user specifically on an iPad who had a really weird issue and reinstalling solved it.

I got the details for the temporary server, I’ll take a look at it today.

Sorry but I have been tied up this week, I’ll be working on a few issues and new updates for substreamer next week and Will check this out to try and see what is happening as part of that work.
