I‘m currently experiencing an internet outage at home. The home network is running, but no internet.
While in this state I booted my Amp (via a smart outlet). Now I can AirPlay to it and play music from my Plex server using the WiiM Home App.
But I can’t use LMS since the Amp doesn’t show itself as Sqeezelite player in the network. And I can’t send music via Chromecast Audio from PlexAmp to the Amp since it doesn’t propagate as Chromecast Audio Receiver in the network neither.

Is this a known issue? Especially when being offline I would want to continue using the Amp in order to stream my locally available music files.
 
I’d guess it should show as a Squeezelite player, but as Chromecast is a cloud delivery function, I wouldn’t expect that to work.

I would expect Squeezelite to work. Any other Squeezelite instance would work. @WiiM Support @WiiM Team @RyanWithWiim any thoughts on this?
 
No LMS/Squeezelite if booted while offline is really annoying and from an technical standpoint not justifiable. I consider this a serious bug @WiiM Support
Just checked with my Pro Plus: Same behavior. No Squeezelite, no Chromecast (I‘m fine with later).
