I agree, Sony's Android TV integration on the U.S. models is also excellent, average non-technically oriented people seem to have no trouble in using it.

That could very well be the issue, though I think we had seen another member here with 2 older Sony TVs that were running Android 9 and 10 respectively, and things were working for him after the v1.1 TV app update at last report. My Google TV Streamer is the latest version of that device...

Everything seems to be working as normal for me on v1.1 with WiiM Ultra and Google TV Streamer (4K) both connected via Ethernet.

Thats a pretty plausible explanation, I hadn't thought of that.

Seems for now we have to live with that behavior, hopefully WiiM can add a control switch/setting for that one.

Worked for me straight off, no reboots required of either the Google TV Streamer or the WiiM Ultra (both of which are Ethernet connected). After the TV app update, the Ultra was immediately visible and when music is played to it, the TV app displays that:

The iPhone's U.S. market share is about 56.6% depending on the measurement period, so no not "most people" but more than half. I don't use an iPhone but I do use an iPad and Mac computers, and I definitely do not miss the train wreck that is AirPlay2 in any way. AirPlay was cool in 2007 or so...

Spotify is the absolute worst company in the streaming market. I will never use Spotify or support them in any way. Daniel Ek told everyone all they needed to know (in more than arrogant fashion) when he said that the cost of creating content was "close to zero", enraging artists and music fans...

Deep but digestible. :geek:

Far out man, can you elaborate? :LOL:

Either that isn't true, or you have poor reading comprehension. It was clearly stated that these TV apps work for now as a large Now Playing screen, and additional control functionality will be added with app updates in the future.

No worries and maybe we are splitting hairs here, the current hardware offering from Google dropped the Chromecast branding in late 2024 which was admittedly too wordy (Chromecast with Google TV) in favor of Google TV Streamer. That said, the late 2024 Google TV Streamer (4K) runs Android TV...

Yes everything is on the same network and subnet. One interesting twist in my case is the opposite of what some others are reporting works for them, i.e. some with Android TV boxes have indicated it only works when that box is connected via WiFi and not Ethernet. My 2024 Google TV Streamer is...

They are actually the same thing, Google TV is just new for late 2024 branding, all Google TV devices run Android TV builds.

Still no luck with my Ultra, I did a factory reset and went through the initial setup again, however there are still no devices shown in the WiiM Home TV app. The Ultra is running the latest May 30 firmware, v5.2.718554. 2024 Google TV Streamer (4K) model, Android TV OS version 14, Android TV...
