Furthermore, when you create a new artist mix, you cannot filter the artist type, and composers do not appear in the list of selectable artists unless they are also in the list of Album artists... So it is not really feasible to do a smart mix based on composers
Sense 3.3 Beta Testing

Are you on the newer .15 beta? Am testing the Chromecast now to my Sony TV (hard-wired) and all okay
Using 3.3.0-15 and really like the SmartQ feature but would like to see the ability to turn it on and off in the Playing Now screen and an option to clear the unplayed SmartQ tracks rather than having to go back in to Settings.
Reason is sometimes as you listen to music you want the SmartQ but then after a couple of tracks you change your mind but are still left with the remain queue. Finally it would also be great to select how many tracks get added by SmartQ, say 5, 10, 15.

Hello Stephen, yes I am on the .15 Beta. It seems the Chromecast issue was linked to some cache problems. I restarted the Zen mini as well as the TV (Hisense 8UK Google TV) and now it works
This is a simple one.
When I activate the volume level it stays there and covers up the pause/play buttons. It would be nice if the volume adjustment is timed to disappear. Maybe 10 or 15 seconds?
P.S. I’m using the uPnP to Zuma Lumisonic and it’s working a treat. I used uPnP years ago when it was still in the back-end and was really dodgy.
An option to toggle within Now Playing certainly seems fair, we will look into this.
Clearing the remaining Queue can indeed be from the Now Playing -> Queue screen rather than settings, also if you begin to play something new altogether like another album you have chosen, then this should wipe away anything that was placed by SmartQ in the remaining Queue.
SmartQ will add tracks in batches of 5 songs at a time.

In my experience clearing the queue from the Now Playing screen also deletes the track currently playing and hence music stops. Can this be modified to only clear the unplayed queue items?
I agree that this might be useful in some circumstances, however how would you create an empty queue then?
This could be as much hinderance as help; there may be some users that like to keep volume open to make slight changes as music progresses or accounting between different volume levels of songs. I'd say the lesser evil is to simply close it when you have finished your volume adjustment, however if the general feel amongst the majority is an auto-close after a time period then yes, could certainly be considered!
By deleting the unplayed tracks in the queue the music would stop once the current track had played but if you wanted you could manually add more tracks to a new queue and this would be played at the end of the current track.
Is this still persisting? Is it a case that some Qobuz tracks are simply being skipped to the next song in the queue? And is it easy to replicate in that it happens when there are resolution changes between songs?
Hello Stephen, yes, it’s easy to replicate, and I also suspect it’s linked to the resolution changes. However, it wouldn’t matter if I limited to 44.1k as Sense would then transcode, right? Could it be the bit depth? It would currently also show issues when playing a Qobuz 44.1/16 album or ripped CDs from the Sense server. On the other hand, Radio Paradise (Flac) is running the entire day via Sense UPnP without any problems. Since UPnP was much more stable in the first release, I suspect it’s not just the resolution; there might be some tweaks in the length dataset when a song ends and when to skip. I rarely had issues with Qobuz playlists in the first release, and it wouldn’t skip a song while playing. In fact, I think it was more stable than the LMS implementation.
