Ongoing Beta Beta Test: DLNA Cast

[Burnside]

Is this beta still ongoing or did it silently die?

Released on the Ultra, but still in beta on Pro, Pro Plus and Amp afaics

@Burnside : Thx for the info.

Still going as far as I'm aware

Still not working.

@WiiM Support : Any chance that it will be updated for WiiM Pro or even will be integrated into an upcoming firmware release?

yes..just a reminder... and date
(seems like an important, useful function, regarding all wiim machines (not attached to the management of " screens').. . and not a gimmick...)

Yes, it would be a very useful feature, but even after all this time, and although it has been released for the Ultra, it still doesn't work.

I'm thinking about buying a WiiM Pro because this topic caught my attention. I have Denon devices (X3800H, S970H, Home 150) that don't have Google Chromecast that I'd like to use for YouTube and other apps.

I know that WiiM supports Google Chromecast + I see this beta with potential DLNA Cast support. But not having WiiM devices I can't tell if I could stream via Google Chromecast from my Android to WiiM and in WiiM select the DLNA speaker to play it on my Denon speaker. Will this be possible?

or even (i don't think so) select which speaker to stream to with Google Chromecast?

Not sure this is a good answer as I don’t use either YouTube or chromecast but when I browse in my home music share it shows my Denon 250 maybe someone else who uses those things can advise you
I can browse a ssd connected to my WiiM ultra and play files on my 250 and it works well

A couple of caveats - the WiiM Pro beta DLNA casting is coming up for 6 months old, and when I try it with my Ultra it doesn't see my Denon Ceol Piccolo, but does pick up my Linn amp and my other WiiMs. BubbleUPnP on Android and mConnect on ios see all my devices on the other hand.

You could add a WiiM Pro to each of your Denons then group them in the Google Home app and cast to that. Note that WiiM Minis couldn't be used as they don't support Chromecast even in a group where the main WiiM device does,

Mine sees my WiiM Amp, WiiM Pro and Marantz Amp. I can connect to all three but no audio on Marantz, WiiM receive fine.

Edit: The Marantz didn't like the FLAC had to drop it to mp3
