HDMI output for Now Playing on TV

[aguzz132]

Hi everyone!

I have a suggestion for future versions of the products you've already released (like V2s maybe): consider including an HDMI output so that the Now Playing screen can be displayed on a TV. This is a feature that, for example, the Marantz Cinema 70s has, and I think it would be a great addition that very few products offer. If you could also integrate it with the display of song lyrics, that would be even better.

Unfortunately, Roku does not support Chromecast. What I would love is a WiiM app for the Roku. If it could use the Roku hardware as a playback device, that would be amazing. If it is just a front end for their hardware on the network, that would still be great. Basically, like others mentioned, the WiiM Home app, but running on Roku.

The WiiM home app controls a WiiM device, it’s not a WiiM emulator so it’d be unlikely to enable the Roku as a playback device even it there was a WiiM app for Roku.

The more I think about this, I don't know how it would work. If I have my AVR input set to the Roku to see the app, how do I listen to the audio coming from the WiiM Ultra on that AVR?

A WiiM with an HDMI output that outputs audio and a GUI would be great. It would need a different remote though. One with a D-pad for navigation as well as volume, skip, favorites etc. I'd actually like a remote like that now for my WiiM Ultra I use on my desk.

Doesn’t your AVR have video pass thru to an attached tv while playing from another source?
