I asked because I use UPnP with a WiiM Pro but it's not clear what your problem is.

WiiM can't index your NAS, and the media server on your NAS is likely much better too. If you're looking for a better media server then try MinimServer.

Do you want to connect a HDD to your WiiM? In your original post it sounded like you wanted to avoid that: WiiM can't index remote storage, only SMB browsing is supported. Maybe you should clarify what you're trying to achieve.

Have you posted in the wrong thread as this issue relates to playlist corruption (track identifiers from third-party servers change over time) which WiiM have no control over? I have a WiiM Pro, are you using the WiiM Home app or a third party control point?

Damn, it looks like there isn't feature parity between the Android and iOS app, which complicates things somewhat. The only other way I know to get the track URL is by issuing UPnP commands, which, when using curl on Linux looks like: curl -X POST...

There's an app store link on the foobar2000 website: https://www.foobar2000.org/ios Could you install a different server?

Given you're on Android I'd start with the WiiM Home App (WHA) and MinimServer (don't choose "Advanced" in the WHA) or Plex. Try both as they use different APIs so offer different functionality in the WHA. If you find the WHA lacking but want to stick with one of the above servers I'd try...

Is your PC and Pro Plus on the same broadcast domain? What software are you using to connect? I know Upplay works well on Linux. EDIT: My WiiM Pro was found with gssdp-discover: gssdp-discover -i eth0 --timeout=3 --target=urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:MediaRenderer:1

Which platforms are you looking to use for controlling playback? Do you want to access your music remotely? Do you need user profile support (for favourites, playlists etc)? If you want to use the WiiM Home app (which is a little limited) your best options are MinimServer or Plex.

If the problem is with the server then there is no workaround, as only the URL provides direct access to the tracks. It might be worth recreating the playlists in another control point (BubbleUPnP on Android or mconnect lite on iOS) so you can check them if/when the playlists in the WiiM Home...

What music server are you using? With some servers the track URLs can change during rescans, leading to the scenario you describe.

Indexing involves reading the tags from your files to create a detailed, searchable catalog of your music library. When you have the drive connected to the computer it sounds like you're just browsing the contents via File Explorer and dragging them onto VLC. They're very different...

The queue and its associated metadata are certainly held on device for distribution to other apps, but given that the app already has the correct metadata (there must be an existing process to ensure the app reflects any changes made by other controllers) it wouldn't NEED to retrieve it from the...

The metadata is retrieved as part of the browsing process (WHA), so I'd be surprised if it's taken an update to the Ultra to fix it (hoping the metadata doesn't do a round trip). It wasn't a problem with the Android app so I didn't need to apply replaygain in MinimServer, though I still do it...

Whilst the WHA is responsible for how things are displayed and some of the interactive functionality (A-Z jump bars), it's the media server that controls the content. If you're using the media server built into the Amp Ultra then your only options are: Store the files in separate folders and...
