Disc layout (table of contents) underpins the MusicBrainz database, but "requires" was probably too strong a word for taggers - at least for the foobar MusicBrainz plugin - because you are still able to perform a less efficient and less precise albumartist + album search to retrieve metadata...

Looks like they want to move away from Plex:

Many audio tools (taggers and verifiers) require the correct disc and track number tags so it's not recommended to deviate from that. I use foobar for tagging and don't browse by folder so I never really see the filesystem, so adding title and artist and other strings to make them unique seems...

I think Synology have reversed that decision, but the damage to their reputation has already been done. Having said that, if I were in the market for a NAS I'd probably use them.

If you want to use the WiiM Home app (WHA) then your options are either DLNA or Plex (Lyrion isn't compatible with the WHA). I use the same folder structure (one folder per album, not per disc) but name my files %discnumber%.%tracknumber%.flac because I'll never browse by folder, but as long as...

If you browse the server in the Ultra from a third party control point (BubbleUPnP on Android or mConnect Lite on iOS) do you see the same problem? It sounds like the local database (in app) is out of sync with the remote (Ultra).

I've always assumed that's why they developed "Advanced Mode" for third party servers...because I can't think of any other reason ;-)

WiiM Home App. I'll be able to test the files in the morning.

I joined the beta on my Pro and my build is reported as: Firmware version: 4.8.705360 Build Date: 20250122 So yes it does look like you're stuck on an old firmware.

I added the image to an album served by MiniDLNA 1.3.3 and it appeared in the WHA, so there's nothing wrong with the artwork. There's a Windows app called Upplay which, whilst aesthetically challenged and requires a donation of 5 EUR, works really well and makes it much easier to log than UPnP...

Are you on Android? If you are have you tried clearing the app cache (Android > Settings > Apps > WiiM Home > Storage and cache: clear cache)? I don't think there's an equivalent on iOS. If you're Android I'll put some instructions together on how to use UPnP Tool; a great UPnP logging app.

I haven't tried it in a while, but are you grouping the speakers in the Sonos app then selecting only the master Sonos speaker (the speaker you initiated grouping from in the Sonos app) in the DLNA Out configuration in the WiiM Home app?

I assumed you were using "Advanced" mode; in which case I'd be inclined to think it's a problem with your server as there isn't a local database in "Legacy mode". Do you see the same issues when browsing your server with mconnect?

The database is stored on the phone. Given you've already reinstalled the app it's possible there's a bug in the scanning engine that's causing the corruption, so submit a ticket through the app (More > Feedback) to ensure WiiM have the necessary logs to debug the issue. I use MinimServer and...

And with any half-decent media server that's what you'd see, but if you've tried embedded and external (folder.jpg) and you're still not seeing any then maybe artwork isn't supported at all (WiiM is likely extracting artwork from the file itself during playback). If you want to avoid additional...
