Is WiiM team willing to share a list of features (all/everything available in plexamp off course) that will get supported and as such clarity on what we will not get?

There are some albums that i can play perfectly through the plexamp app, but through the plex integration it keeps stuttering. It's weird.
You should raise a ticket thru the settings/feedback section of the WiiM home app so WiiM engineers can inspect your log for the cause.
Pro plus firmware not yet updated for Plex but I guess it would be soon.
Possibly - you need this firmware, and I’d guess you’d lose the ikea/sonos feature…

I was thinking it's a firmware in the device issue. I'm not keen on losing the Ikea /Sonos integration - it's the reason I have the Wiim Amp, and I can just cast from Plex Amp, so I'll live.

I'm thinking of replacing my WiiM Pro with a WiiM Ultra. I really like the Pro, but not having to open the app on my phone to see which song is playing, and touch controls/screen would be massive features for me.
Now here's the question part for me: I use Plexamp a lot, and I would like to know if this Plex integration is going to make it possible to display the cover art on the WiiM Ultra when playing something in Plexamp (via Chromecast).
If not, are there other ways to do so? (without compromising ease of use)

Just got the beta for Android. It's a decent enough implementation (although I share the same misgivings that many others have voiced around the lack of plexamp endpoint casting).
My main issues, having played around with it:
My main issues, having played around with it:
- "Recently Added" seems to be capped to just 6 entries/albums. It would be better if this part was more extensive - you can see a lot more of your recently added music on both Plex and Plexamp.
- As others have fed back - It doesn't report plays to the Plex dashboard. I have scripts running to scrobble plays via last.fm and listenbrainz, but these are rendered useless if I playback via the WiiM Home app, which is a shame.

Thanks for confirming!
Me too!!
I can see, in my case, 2 different servers I have in the same account, and I can select and play from one or the other

My WiiM was unable to detect my library and connect to my Plex server. It showed “Unable to discover library”
First of all, I had to make sure that Plex is using the actual internal IP instead of the Docker virtual network IP. For docker installations, Plex MUST use host mode in the docker network configuration.
After setting this configuration, WiiM still refuses to connect to my Plex server. After messaging back and forth with WiiM support, it appears that the WiiM Mini device is unable to access my Plex server.
After doing some research, it appears that WiiM Mini (possibly other devices too) only uses HTTP to connect to a Plex server and not HTTPS. To make this work, I had to turn my Secure Connections to "Preferred" instead of "Required". To set this configuration, go to Plex Settings -> Network -> Secure Connections where you can toggle either "Preferred" or "Required". This made my Plex Server accessible for my Wiim Mini device.
I am not a fan of this, this means that all of my Plex users are able to stream without a secure connection. Please add HTTPS support for Plex so I can change it back to “Required”.

Didn’t you post this earlier? Have you submitted a ticket to WiiM with your request?

I pasted the fix here in case someone runs into the same issue. Im definitely not the only one who runs Plex as a docker install.
