## What is Hark Stream?

The application allows compatible devices to independently play stream music via direct URL. It is designed to control audio equipment compatible with the HEOS built-in (Denon, Marantz, Definitive Technology, and HEOS), as well as Yamaha CRX-N560 (and similar devices with outdated firmware). 

NOTE
Devices with HEOS Built-in currently only play direct music streaming links. Links to playlists (including PLS and M3U files) will not play.
Yamaha devices do not play links like "HTTPS" - try changing the link from "https://" to "http://".

FREE DOWNLOAD
This application is available as a free download and allows you to control the playback of a limited number of saved music streaming links on compatible devices. To fully use the application, you need to purchase a renewable Premium Access subscription. Please note that if not canceled, the subscription will automatically renew.

PREMIUM ACCESS SUBSCRIPTION
Premium access allows you to play an unlimited number of saved music streaming links. You can purchase a Premium Access auto-renewing subscription through an in-app purchase. The annual subscription comes with a free trial period. Before purchasing a Premium Access subscription, make sure the application controls your equipment correctly.

### 2/5 — Phenominally limited

*2024-05-03*

This seems to lat you play and pause and save streaming URLs, but it offers limited to no device control other than play, pasue, and volume.
Cannot turn my denon receiver on, so I stil need to use a official heos app before I can use this one - so I'm not sure why I would bother.
Cannot select zones. cannot see my saved heos stations. more like a play/pause/volume "mini" remote than a real heos app.

### 5/5 — Part2

*2024-03-22, version 3.0*

The nwerror60 relates to it losing the connection, it’s not clear if streaming the internet station)s) result in this when it’s not been able to carry on buffering or if the network disappears and looses denon ceol, it points to the latter tho because when it happens even pulling down to refind doesn’t work , I have to close and reopen the app ,  I think it’s also happened in the d&m software too.

### 1/5 — HEOS marantz rn 1200

*2023-10-30, version 2.2*
