Once Sync is setup it's a single click there and Sync will start.

Thank you Lowlander.
If I understand you correctly, the "menu" means to open the settings by clicking on the "hamburger", then click on the wheel, then click on "Library & Sync", then on "Sync configuration wizard"?
That's 4 clicks too much. Why is the home button "Media" then? Clicking on "Media" could lead faster to the goal, as this functioned in previous MMA versions.
There is only one problem: Although the server is displayed, the small button "next" at the bottom right is hidden by the player bar. This bar can only be enlarged, but not deleted. It should not even be present in the "Media" category. This problem exists both on the smartphone and on the tablet.

1) Sync can be started from the menu.

2) Media Servers are automatically discovered on the same network. If you use Add media server you can either manually enter the IP, port and file path or use the QR code (which MMW5 provides).

In the meantime I noticed more things that should be improved. Or it was much better in an older version.
  • There should be a sync button in home again. Instead there is "Media Server". When I click on it, the server address set up appears. When I click on the existing server adress, I find myself in a dead end: a directory list from which it doesn't go any further. Instead, I have to go awkwardly through the settings. This is just crap, sorry.
  • The server settings can no longer be done manually, only with barcode.

BTW: The tablet version of the latest build has it fixed. Only on smartphone the bad one is still displayed.

It says fixed in 2.0.0.1062, which isn't available yet.

Is the build available where it is fixed? Have I to get a beta tester to get it?

Edit:
It is said that it is fixed in 2.0.0.1061. But it isn't. Same view, same undistinguishable Buttons.

There is a bug open for the identification icon: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19686

I am using version 2.0.0.1060. The buttons on the home screen are now very difficult to identify. In example I have 3 buttons "Albums" (for music, classic and audiobooks).
However, there are only little darkgray emblems in topleft corner to identify the category.
In previous version it was sun-clear because the focus was else. There were big icons for music, classic and audiobooks.
Because of that intuitive UI I decided to install MMA pro.

Do you plan to reestablish the previous version? I hope!
