Android App: Can I rate tracks or change the volume with the app?

Post by chrisdukes »

I'm using my Android tablet to stream music to my Chromecast w/Google TV. My music files are stored on my Desktop and I never sync files to my tablet.

Can I use my tablet to add a rating to the music files on my desktop?

Thanks!

No, DLNA is a streaming only protocol, not editing of any kind is supported.

Only if you Synced to the device, could you edit tags (like Rating) and on resync these changes can be Synced back to MMW5.

Thanks for the quick reply. Could I use MMRemote5 as a work around? Meaning, I use the MM Android to stream and control playback while I use MMRemote5 to rate the currently playing track? I assume I can't use MMRemote5 to stream to my Chromecast.

I assume you could, but may need to stream to Chromecast from MMW5 instead. Check with the Addon make if this is good solution.
