    Setting to allow Automatic Updates

    I would have though you would choose 1:59AM?:) , but yes, being able to specify the install/reboot time would be very important.

    Setting to allow Automatic Updates

    My WiiM Pros are an excellent product. I have been using Material Skin as my controller app (as my media is on a Lyrion Music Server) and it works perfectly with the WiiMs and other players. I since removed a few WiiM Pros and replaced them with players that have a display and touchscreen. I...

    Wiim data upload?

    I've done much of the type of stuff you mentioned and am always looking for new ideas. Sadly many privacy settings get overwritten when Windows get certain updates. It's like they are trying to wear us down. I sometimes use a VPN but many websites will not accept a connection from a VPN...

    Wiim data upload?

    Spot on. Using television as an example, the company may collect anonymous data of what is being viewed to help with decisions for future programming and I am ok with that. They may also collect data to build a profile about me. I am not ok with that. Disconnecting a device from the internet...

    is there an internal x-over that can be set for the stereo full L/R and the sub output?

    another power supply thread

    I don't remember exactly, but I would have probably used the original WiiM adapter, maybe an old Roku adapter, or an Amazon 2.1 amp replacement adapter (I had a 4-pack). Seems like none of those should have been a problem, and it sounds like the Mini "just" went bad. It happens. Glad it does not...

    Thanks for the link. Looks pretty comprehensive.

    another power supply thread

    Sounds like a luck of the draw in many cases. Again, just talking about adapters that plug into the wall and have a USB-A output, are there any best and worst practices we should be aware of? Thanks for your reply.

    Do some Wall outlet to USB-A adapters put out 12v instead of 5v?

    another power supply thread

    No, it doesn't, but it is actually what prompted me to ask the question. I didn't want to hijack that thread though. I assume some of the power supplies that WiiM users are trying have wall warts or dedicated enclosures. and could be designed in many ways with different voltages, polarities, AC...

    another power supply thread

    I see a lot of discussion about power supplies. The WiiM's use a USB adapter that plugs into a wall outlet and has a USB-A output. Is the output one voltage, or do some some pins for example carry 5 volts and some 12 volts? There are so many of these adapters out there that many new devices do...

    Wiim Pro+ SPDIF input spring operated cover broke

    I had a similar problem with my VPN provider. The only option was Chat but it wanted my name and email, neither was accepted. I tried on another browser and it worked. It's worth a shot.

    Streaming service OR your own local content?

    I was thinking a playlist is put together from the favorites of my content. I suppose someone else's suggestions are a playlist too. It's a matter of wording, but you know what I mean. Sound like a career with a lot of memories and the fact that you are here shows music is still important to you.

    Streaming service OR your own local content?

    Before I was retired I worked 6 days a week for most of my career and still had time to cook, eat, shop. build projects, hang out at friend, shop for new music, go to concerts, ...and on and on and on. Now I am lucky to get a small project done a day. I go to start something and there is this...

    Streaming service OR your own local content?

    as a joke I was going to call this "What are you listening to?". 3200+ posts! but seriously... Q1. Most of the time, what do you listen to, a Streaming service or content from a local drive on your network? Q2. Do you listen to individual songs, traditional albums (format), playlists, or...
