[Andoid app] Device list in landscape orientation

[Andoid app] Device list in landscape orientation

I use android app on tablet in landscape orientation. Device list is always opened in portrait orientation. Can you fix this issue in android app. May be similar to web browser for large screens or any other solution suitable for landscape oriented android devices (i.e. wall mounted / table devices). Thanks

I'm having the same issue with android app.

The app is displayed in landscape mode on my tablet. When entering the device list to connect to another device, the orientation changes to portait mode. The same happens when showing the current playlist.

At least the device list issue is a regression, as it used to work correctly in landscape mode in a previous version.

 

Version is 9.0.2.459

Hi there @icebaer72,

 

Thanks for reaching out!

 

We'd love to gather some info in order to get this reported to our tech folks, so that they can look into it. Can you send us the following:

  • The make and model of your tablet
  • A couple of screenshots showing the change from landscape to portrait mode on your end

We'll be on the lookout for your response.

I'm using a Xiaomi Pad 6 running Android 14.

 

As you can see in the screenshots, the home page is displayed in landscape mode, which is correct.

When opening the devices screen (with the button in the bottom left corner) the screen rotates by 90° and shows the devices in portait mode.

The same happens on these two screens, when using the button in the bottom right corner.
