| Yoto player | Partly works Cloud | Skip/seek improved in yoto-api 2.3.0; some users cannot authenticateSaved copyBumps `yoto-api` from 2.2.6 to 2.3.0. Skip and seek now use the new helpers in the library, which fixes a few longstanding quirks: skipping across chapter boundaries works, and skipping past the start or end of a card no longer sends an invalid command. The bump also pulls in fixes from 2.2.7 to 2.2.9: volume no longer flickers when the player reports both data and status, and accounts with more than one consumer connected at once stop fighting over the same MQTT client ID. Changes have been tested with my Yoto Mini. Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-23. | PR #258 · 2026-05 |
