Are you using the Android or iOS WiiM app? I've just tested KODI 21.2.0 on Windows with the Android WHA 3.2.1.250506 playing to WiiM Pro 4.8.714841 and it's working fine for me.

Are you able to cast to your WiiM from KODI using BubbleUPnP/mconnect? There used to be a lot of issues with WiiM's URL handling which would cause playback to fail from KODI, but that hasn't been an issue for a long time now.

BubbleUPnP/mconnect – connecting via Chromecast is no problem.
*I can also stream to the Wiim Ultra via DLNA from mconnect.*

There's only one issue when I try to play directly via "Home Music Share" and DLNA sharing. I can see everything, but I can't play it. As mentioned, this still works with version 3.1.5 (Android).

*Edit*
Maybe it's not the app, but the firmware?! I don't know exactly when it started that I can't play anything via Kodi DLNA. Can I also downgrade the firmware?
My Ultra FW is 5.2.715362

All I can say is that it still works with app version 3.1.5.

Is there any track progress at all?
Do you have ReplayGain enabled?

Can I also downgrade the firmware?

Wiim can help with this as part of your ticket, but in the meantime you could try going to Device Info, Join Beta Testing and choosing one of the options available there.
You can opt out to get back to your current release at any time in the same screens.

No, it's not playing at all. When I click play, nothing happens.

Do we know what character sets are supported by the WiiM devices?

The UTF-8 encoding of the Unicode standard should be fully supported, as this is becoming the default for most text.
