Primarily for listening to Spotify, owntone-server/librespot-java/Shairport-Sync/TuneAero have enabled me to transition away from TuneBlade and its shortcomings. To mimic the TuneBlade Tray App I have a Chrome window pinned to the task bar next to Spotify that is dedicated to the owntone server for device selection and volume control. I have the same basic thing setup on my iPhone and can set up house guests quickly that way so they can be the DJ.

It would be nice if there was a direct url for accessing the owntone device selection and volume control page. As it is now, the first time the page is opened I have to click on the little up arrow at the bottom right to get to the device selection and volume control page.

I have tried using the Inspector in Firefox to find a url, but no luck.

An awesome enhancement would be to create a tray app like TuneBlade on Windows for owntone device selection and volume control as well as the very simple TuneBlade iPhone app.

I have owntone-server/librespot-java/Shairport-Sync running on Diet-pi in a Virtualbox VM on my main Windows machine to send music to my mix of shairport-sync, Airplay2 TVs, and dedicated airplay1 devices throughout the house. TuneAero tray app on the Windows machine is the airplay receiver for my desktop speakers which keeps them in sync with the rest of the house and shows what is playing. Using owntone to play directly to the hardware works, but can't keep in synch the way TuneAero does.

Actually, the volume and device control view is not a page in itself, but a component of the view that is displayed or not using a method.
Maybe there is a possibility to show this view directly when opening the page with a bookmarklet.
I didn't try it myself as I don't know how to access the Vue.js elements of the page.

Since I use owntone only for spotify connect, the volume control page is the only one I am interested in so getting its own url would be great.

owntone-server/librespot-java/Shairport-Sync has been great here as others can play from their spotify and either of us can control speakers and volume. A one click volume/slider page would make that easier for getting guests up and running.
