Finally have my optimal setup with the WiiM Ultra

It does stop, but then switches to the local renderer; not sure if that's the desired behaviour.

That'll do me. so long as it doesn't start playing on the local renderer. Which it didn't when I tried.

To be fair it's a workaround. Wiim should fix this so it works for every app.

It does here too. Would be nicer if it stayed connected to the external renderer. Although agreed that this is better than before.

That's the behaviour I was expecting, but maybe there's a good reason for it; perhaps some renderers don't switch back upon resume so he's playing it safe.

I'll chase up my WiiM ticket to see if there's been any progress.

The behaviour is better than I thought initially with this Symfonium update.

It only disconnects from the renderer when I pause music on Symfonium (I forget to stop it entirely) and then switch to another input on the WiiM Ultra. That is precisely when the weird behaviour started, and that problem has been solved now by disconnecting.

When I actually do stop the music on Symfonium, and then switch to another source, nothing happens and my player stays connected.

So this solution is adequate for me.
