No Cover via Nas
Hello friends, I am a new Wiim user and I love it. Bought the Mini a couple of days ago and just ordered a Pro. The only thing I am really missing is Multichannel and Dolby Atmos support. But now to my problem: I have all my music library stored on a Nas. A hard drive directly connected to my...forum.wiimhome.com
I’m new to BubbleUPnP and would love to find out how you apply a “Shuffle by Album” to a specific genre.The Bubbleupnp app can do this.

I think we've discussed this before, but in order to shuffle albums in BubbleUPnP you need to add your tracks/albums to the playback queue (Enqueue from the Jukebox index), then on the Playlist tab make sure you're in Album View and finally select Shuffle Albums. You can access both of those options from the vertical ellipsis at the top right of the screen.I see in BubbleUPnP the “random album” option, but that appears to be looking at the entire library. How do I restrict it to a specific genre?
Aha! The missing link was to be in “Album View” on the playlist and then select “Shuffle Albums” there!I think we've discussed this before, but in order to shuffle albums in BubbleUPnP you need to add your tracks/albums to the playback queue (Enqueue from the Jukebox index), then on the Playlist tab make sure you're in Album View and finally select Shuffle Albums.

The random album selection in BubbleUPnP is very efficient (given it doesn't perform the indexing) but is currently only at the server level.
I understand the frequent recommendation for LMS, but for a variety of reasons, it’s a non-starter with me. I want to live in an “officially supported” world, running software easy to install and configure on my Synology NAS, for which I am happy to pay.This is dead easy in LMS where there are a whole host of Random Mix options including the newly implemented “Works” option for Classical fans.
I've been using it for over a decade and only recently realised Album View was there too! The best £5 I ever spentAha! The missing link was to be in “Album View” on the playlist and then select “Shuffle Albums” there!
Hahahaha! Be prepared for even more stupid questions from me.I've been using it for over a decade and only recently realised Album View was there too! The best £5 I ever spent![]()
There are a couple of settings you'll want to enable for your WiiM:Hahahaha! Be prepared for even more stupid questions from me.
I hear what you say but be aware LMS used to be “officially supported” on QNAP and Netgear NAS (not sure about Synology). Then all of a sudden it wasn’t and people only found out when they applied NAS firmware updates.I understand the frequent recommendation for LMS, but for a variety of reasons, it’s a non-starter with me.

Oh, I’m aware of the support issue. But my new-ish Synology came with DSM 7, under which LMS won’t run, with the exception that it can be run within Docker.I hear what you say but be aware LMS used to be “officially supported” on QNAP and Netgear NAS (not sure about Synology).

My advice. Don’t let your Synology update automatically. Only allow updates once compatibility is confirmed by the clever folk who manufacture Asset.
PS If I had to use UPnP then I’d probably choose Asset just because of dbPoweramp and Foobar2000 which come from the same source.
