Display the screen contents on a TV

[jimk04]

On the Darko review he has the screen contents beamed to his big TV. How does this work?
I have hdmi into my TVs hdmi arc port for getting the audio to the Ultra, but what is needed in the setup to display the contents of the app/screen when we are playing music or going through the menus etc.?
Thanks

The HDMI ARC on the WiiM has no outputs. Only audio input from the TV.

Presumably he is just mirroring his phone screen to the TV, but I don't watch his videos.

Ah ok I didn't know that so yes you're probably right. Thanks for the answer.

Darko is using Roon, so he choose to send the audio to the Ultra and a playscreen to a app on his TV. If WiiM did a app for SmartTV-OS it could work the same way

Yes, I was a liar.
sorry.

There is another workaround to that posted in the forum that is connecting an old phone you have around via hdmi to your tv and opening wiim app there while controlling the wiim with your regular phone
