API command to get current EQ setting.

I've just started using my WiiM amp for sound on a TV using HDMI ARC and it is working well.

I started testing the various EQ profiles and have found that they are quite useful and Vocal Booster does work in improving clarity of speech.

So I have been testing using API commands (httpapi.asp?command=EQLoad:xxx) to switch between various different profiles and it works great. What I haven't been able to find though is a way to find out via API what profile is currently active. I can get the complete list of option with (httpapi.asp?command=EQGetList) but there doesn't seem to be a "EQGetCurrent" option.

The general get status command gives a payload entry of eq: "0" but that is documented as "The preset number of the Equalizer" and on mine it stays at 0 regardless of which EQ profile I switch to. Even If I set up and save some personal EQ profiles and switch directly to them using the app, I only ever get eq; "0" in the status output.

Seems odd to be able to switch to a profile using the API, but not be able to check which one is currently active the same way.
 
Best dropping WiiM a line via the more/feedback section in the app and see if they have any suggestions. I get the feeling though that not a lot of work has been done on the api interface to allow it to keep pace with developments elsewhere.

Thanks, good idea, I have just done that. Will report back if I hear anything.
