chromecast

Hey, Does someone use chromecast feature like "Airplay"? So for casting audio only. It is recognized on my android phone as sound + screen so it is really weird to cast "entire" screen or app when just audio is needed. In Google Home app I can see as "Cast audio" but after clicking on it it asks...

Hi, I’m using the WiiM Amp Ultra and mostly listen to YouTube Music through Chromecast. When I stop playback manually, the screen turns off and the device goes into standby after the 30 seconds I set. That part works fine. But if I leave the house while music is still playing, when I come back...

This is an buglet that has been annoying me for some time, but now seems to have got worse. I listen using 3 main sources of audio - Tidal, local music on a NAS served by Plex Media Server, and BBC Sounds. I prefer to listen via the native apps (Tidal, Plexamp and BBC Sounds) - there is no...

I've recently just purchased a wiim amp, when I go to YouTube on my phone and try to Chromecast, the wiim amp doesn't appear in the list. Anyone know the reason?

Is anyone else seeing a lack of metadata being properly displayed when streaming to the Amp Ultra when using Google Cast from Lyrion Music Server (fka Logitech Media Server)? This is in contrast to what is seen when using Google Cast from other applications. Please see below for an example:

I've been using the WiiM Amp for over a year now, but there's one issue that's been bothering me from the start. The app and initial setup of the device includes an option to enable or disable Chromecast, but disabling it doesn't seem to have any effect - the device still appears as an available...

I have a turntable going to Wiimpro line-in and line-out to my stereo receiver. The hard wired system works fine. When I attempt to access Chrome, the system switches to wifi and I lose all sound. I would appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to run the turntable to my wired system...

I have all my music on my Android phone and tablet (a lot of 24bit). I know that I can cast this music with My Music/Wifi to the Ultra. But I find the Wiim Home app a bit limited, so I intend to also keep using Bubbleupnp and Mediamonkey. When I start casting from Bubbleupnp/Mediamonkey I see 2...

I have a semi-technical question to ask concerning Spotify Connect via Google Cast Group. Please advise if this is the wrong forum / audience for this ask ... I found something interesting in the Spotify Connect Zeroconf protocol properties returned for the Wiim AMP device. There is an...

Hi, in my main room I have a Wiim Pro connected to my amp, but would like the option of listening in my kitchen, sometimes in isolation, other times as a multi-room setup. I'm considering a budget smart speaker, either Audio Pro A10 (non-WiiM) or Edifier MS50A, both of which I understand should...

When I do Chromecast on WiiM Ultra from Apple Music using USB out, it plays sound for a second, then no sound for a second, and repeats. The track doesn’t play properly. Apple Music shows buffering after playing for a second, then no sound for a second, and so on. I noticed the Play LED on my...

Hi, I have a weird issue. Today I was playing music from Spotify to a Chromecast speaker group with one Wiim Amp and two other Chromecast-compatible speakers, the three were playing music at the same time smoothly until I left home with my smartphone, when arriving home again, the speaker group...

My WiiM Ultra is always shown as being offline in my Google Home app's device overview. However, I can perfectly open it and adjust its volume - making the Ultra (and my amp) go active if it was still in standby. Even when the Ultra is turned on and playing, it will still show as offline in the...

Lately, I've been getting a pretty bad ground loop hum. It wasn't there when new, I've had this about 6 months now. I exclusively listen to this via Chromecast to my old Yamaha home entertainment receiver. All of a sudden it developed a pretty gnarly ground loop hum when I turn the receiver...

New here and not sure if this has been mentioned: I have had three WiiM Minis for a few years now and used them for casting Amazon/Tidal or Airplay at different times. I just got a Wiim Ultra and since it doesn't' have Airplay I used Chromecast with it. I tried to connect my Minis to it and...

New Ultra owner 🙂… setup went swift. The Ultra is connected to a ethernet switch and mainly used with Spotify/Qobuz and internetradio. Occasionally I like to listen to DJ-Sets on MixCloud. This is only possible by casting using airplay or chromecast. The Ultra has the capability to chromecast...

I have a WiiM amp and largely use it with Chromecast. I have it set as the default audio device for Google Home Display. Up until a while ago, when I asked Google to play something on Spotify it would tell me it was going to play it on the WiiM amp, and it did. Now it tells me it is going to...

Hi All My issue is that my Wiim Amp Pro is in a room adjacent to where I often sit. It's an open layout and I have my listening chair in front of my speakers, the rest of the time I'm at the dinner table. On my phone and on my PC I use Youtube music and like to just chromecast the music to the...

I got an Ultra to replace one of my Pros. It's been great and I have phono functionality now. I am, however, having issues when streaming Plex through Chromecast. Plex is transcoding my files playing within the home network on the Ultra. It isn't doing this with my Pro that I have upstairs. It's...

EDIT: OK people I got it. I was overthinking this big time. Sorry, Jeff Hello. I bought a Wiim Ultra a few months ago but have only installed it within the last week. I am trying to work out how to use the Chromecast functionality on the unit. I have tried a few things but end up going...
