🎉 WiiM Home TV App Update — Now Available for Android TV & Fire TV!

We're excited to announce a new update to the WiiM Home TV App for Android TV and Fire TV!

Here's what's new:

---

New: Home Page The biggest addition in this update is the all-new Home page, giving you quick access to your favorite content right from the moment you open the app. From the Home page you can browse:

• Presets – Your saved stations and playlists, ready for instant playback
• Recently Played – Jump back into what you were listening to
• Local Radio – Explore stations in your region
• Popular Music Stations – Browse what's trending
• BBC Radio – A curated selection of BBC broadcasts

(Home page support for Apple TV is coming soon!)

---

Improved Playback Screen

When lyrics aren't available for the currently playing track, the Now Playing screen now displays a large album cover for a cleaner, more immersive visual experience.

---

Better Focus Handling

We've made improvements to focus management across the app to reduce instances of focus loss — making navigation with your TV remote smoother and more reliable.

Does that mean the number of presets has increased to 32?

Now, I'm getting jealous!! (And turning Blue as a Smurf from Holding My Breath...)
It appears that the TV Apps are going to get additional attention that could have gone to the Windows (and MacOS) Apps...

This really should rate a posting in the WiiM App & Firmware Updates forum...

Agreed. I'll drop a redirect in there to here.

Wow, and I literally only posted about wanting a TV app update 2 days ago.
Nice work, and hopefully it'll install so I have plenty of time to play over the long weekend.

You fixed the remaining timer 'jumping' proportional font size issue
The track time on the left still jumps slightly, but it was always less jumpy than the remaining time.
It's now clearly a different font from the one on the right, just by looking at it.

Hi @Wiimer ,

The number of presets is currently 12. We’re actively working on expanding this to 32—stay tuned!

A suggestion - when pressing right to scroll through the presets, when you get to the end of the line and press right, make it scroll to the next preset on the next line.
i.e. when on preset 6, pressing right goes to preset 7
especially as there are 6 presets per line yet only 5 shown on the screen!

Is this supposed to be automatic, or an option somewhere?
The former doesn't seem to work (no lyrics yet shown for the entire song) and I can't see an option.

I also don't see it working for radio stations.
