A few years ago when deciding which strategy to use I tested a number of codecs (FLAC, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis) against Sonos, MinimServer and a portable FiiO player; all the systems handled folder.jpg but Sonos failed to read embedded artwork from ID3v2.4 Mp3's, and MinimServer failed with Ogg...

For most users it is an unnecessarily complicated solution, and isn't compatible with the WiiM Home App. Hopefully you've sent feedback to WiiM and they can get you up and running.

Not forgetting to 'Utils > Optimise FLAC' (if you're using FLAC) if you want to recover the space taken up by the embedded image.

I don't know of any tools for the Mac. Did you format to FAT32 using MBR?

What music server are you using?

Try formatting your drive with initDisk.

You could try the Windows WHA to perform the indexing, but last time I tried it was incredibly slow and buggy (splitting albums by track artist).

SMB shares aren't indexed.

nmap (also available on Windows) will list the dialects in use: nmap -p445 --script smb-protocols <server-ip> ...and smbclient ('net view \\server-ip' on Windows) will list the browseable shares: smbclient -NL <server-ip> My understanding is that as long as you're mapping the share directly...

There has been speculation about PlexAmp 5 for some time now; my guess is that's when you'll see the WiiM endpoint.

You mentioned security; there is no security risk in having the interface available. There are a lot of interfaces that can't be disabled; for example, all the connect interfaces.

If you're referring to the Internet Gateway Device Protocol you need to disable it at the router. You can't disable DLNA/UPnP on WiiM devices.

I was going to ask if you'd scrolled down the full page of library options (check the bleedin' obvious first) as the servers are below the Cloud providers, but it appears to be working now, at least in BubbleUPnP. Whilst the WiiM app does still have some discovery problems I've never had any...

WiiM is LAN based, but apps like Symfonium or PlexAmp will work.

The WiiM Home app (WHA) supports SMB, DLNA/UPnP and Plex. SMB and DLNA/UPnP are LAN based protocols, and whilst Plex should work across networks I believe the current implementation is also restricted to the LAN. Could someone please confirm this? Do you have a device on your LAN from which you...
