Re the loading of a NAS. This turns out not to be related to the code update but rather a Windows10 update a few months ago. You can load your NAS now by entering your information in manually as it is only the auto scan that is effected.
Enter an Alias for your device, then either enter it’s IP or the exact name of the device (to enter the IP, open Windows Explorer and double-click on the NAS. The resulting window that opens in your browser will have the IP address).
To enter the name, enter the name of your device as your computer sees it (eg “WDMYCLOUD”).
For the Path use Public or whatever the name of the folder is that contains your music.
Save.
We will write a fix for the automatic scanning so it works with the latest Windows10 but this is going to take a few weeks.

So I picked up a Bluetooth dongle and have plugged it in to test things out. It works quite smooth. Not really any big issues. If you want to switch to another person though, the first person has to disconnect from it. That's ok so people are not bumping each other off by logging in after each other. A 2nd unit can connect via BT after the first person and it looks connected, but only the first person playing anything will get priority it seems. If someone is hogging the unit, the only way i can think of to get them off is to reboot the Air.
One other weird thing is that in BT mode using Bubble on Android, my volume maxes out at 25 instead of the usual 100. Moving at increments of 5 means the unit volume goes from 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100% with nothing in between. I think i can set this value differently in Bubble but if i set it to increments of 1 and then i go back to a different renderer for playback, it would take me awhile to change the volume on a 100 scale.
On a side note, i swear the Air sounds more bassy using BT than wifi. This is something i have yet to test more thoroughly.

Hello Ian. I just upgraded to 2.09 but my NAS mount isn't working. Seems straight forward but I see a yellow box at the top right hand corner indicating "access denied" I checked permissions on the NAS and it's wide open. What else can I check? It worked before I upgraded.
Alias - NAS (doesn't matter what this is) IP Address - 192.168.2.10 Path - download (this is mount point of my nas. My music is in a subfolder "music" I also tried Z:\music. Z is the drive letter of the download mount.) Share file type - nfs

Hi mn101,
We are working on a fix for the auto-scan right now that should be ready as early as today. But I am not sure why entering the information manually as you are doing is not working. If the code update we are doing now does not fix this for you we can dig a bit deeper and get it working.

Thanks very much Ian. I'll keep looking at the Windows 10 security setting as the error indicates permission issues. But it was working before the upgrade and adding the drive manually is straight forward. Talk soon.

Thanks for the update Ian. I updated to 2.09 with no problems and the system seems to be very stable and MUCH more responsive. I can play through the app as well as directly using airplay. I ordered a Bluetooth dongle so I'll try that too once I get it.
One problem I had before and I still have is that if I stop playing music, for even a minute, the iPhone disconnects from the AxiomAir, and I need to reconnect. Is there a fix for this?

I should note this happens when using AirPlay, not the AA UI.

Hi SRoode,
Are you using iTunes to play over AirPlay? I would suggest doing an iTunes update and check you are running the latest iOS. The recent updates Apple has been doing effect AirPlay.

Hi Ian,
This is Steve from Fishers, IN. No, I usually use the Amazon Music app, then choose airplay as the output device. It drops out no matter what app I use (iTunes included) except for the AA UI. If I don't have a song playing for about 10 seconds it loses connection and I have to reconnect.

Hi Steve,
I have not been able to replicate this with iTunes from my computer; it works great and even remembers the last AxiomAir I was on when I close it and reopen it. My phone is a whole different story. It does just what you are experiencing. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon. We are currently working on the AirPlay2 implementation which may fix this also.
