Grid View for Browsing Albums, Artists, etc…

Wow... sorry guys, I didn't get any notifications for this... didn't realise that it had blown up so much!!! My original post was prompted by the screenshot below (from the WiiM Official Fan Page on Facebook) where a user seems to have what I'm looking for (albeit on an Ultra and via USB). I was hoping there was some way to switch to this type of view but, from some other things I've read, he's maybe using some third-party software (anyone know what it is?) or this is a consequence of him using the USB input.

That screenshot is from the WiiM Home app when browsing local content (USB Input).

Grid layout is available when browsing Plex and select UPnP media servers when in "Advanced" mode e.g. Emby, Windows Media Sharing e.t.c.
I think it's fair to say that "Advanced" mode has been/is a little buggy and is limited to browsing by Albums/Artists (All Artists)/Tracks/Playlists/Genres, so it's a bit of a compromise.

Thanks, simbun... like I said, if only the WiiM Pro had a USB input... so if I get Plex running on my Synology NAS, I may be in with a chance of Grid View on my WiiM Pro..?

Yes, the native Plex integration (Browse > Music Services > Plex) is the best UI available in the WHA - although there are better third party options.

A decent server on a NAS will beat USB Input every time.
