I love Servestream, I really do. But sadly this latest version 0.7 has a number of rather annoying NEW bugs/regressions, some of which are on the verge of becoming deal-breakers:-

NEW. Cannot edit stations. The dialog that pops up is blank and any text you enter is ignored. Any mistakes one makes entering a station can no longer be corrected and one has to delete the station and start again. The only workaround appears to be export all the stations as "backup.json", edit this in a text editor and then reimport it! What a pain!

NEW. The "Order" feature has gone! Granted it never worked properly, but at least it provided a quick way to delete stations. This was useful for deleting stations prior to importing a from "backup.json" file. Otherwise duplicates can occur.

NEW. I see that one now has the option to use a "long press" to select more than one station on the URL's screen. Presumably this is advance work for new features? Anyway, if one does select more than one station, then Servestream instantly crashes.

Fairly NEW. The "Last Connected Date" is broken. Actually, I think this was broken in the last released version. It no longer displays the date that the connection to the station took place. This is relatively trivial and I'm sorry I did not note when it this was broken.

Final question: why did you decide that the backup file should use a json format anyway? XML would be much, much easier to read and edit manually!

    I'm sorry the new version has some regressions. As the app evolves these things happen. Regarding your issues:

    NEW. Cannot edit stations - Fixed, available in next release
    NEW. The "Order" feature has gone - No it isn't, it's now part of the main list functionality
    NEW. I see that one now has the option - Fixed in next release
    Fairly NEW. The "Last Connected Date" is broken - Nope, it isn't.

    Regarding the backup format - While XML may be easier for you to read and edit JSON is easier to parse, hence my decision to use it.
