[slim] Force mobile view

When I'm browsing here using my mobile, I sometimes get the mobile view and sometimes the desktop view. I can't figure out what the variable is resulting in one or the other. When in mobile view, there is a desktop option, but I can't see a way to force mobile view when in desktop view. It's

Now that I've completely switched over to PcP I have 5 unused Apple Airports looking for a new owner. They come with 2 S/PDIF cables, but they all do optical and analog out. In principle they work with LMS, if you install the Airplay bridge plugin. Message me if interested (shipping from
