iOS WiiM Home App v3.1.5 & Android v3.1.6 Update – March 11, 2025

Please review the app update release notes below. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to us.

App Release Version

• iOS: 3.1.5
• Android: 3.1.6

The iOS app is now available, while the Android app is still under review.

What's New:

1. Browse Screen Enhancements: Input sources now appear at the top, and sections can be rearranged for a more personalized experience.
2. TIDAL Daily Discovery: Added support for TIDAL’s "Daily Discovery" mix for curated music recommendations.
3. Hot Mix Radio: Now supports Hot Mix radio stations (not available in the US).
4. Preset Enhancements: Includes recommended preset names and allows adding radio stations from unified search directly to presets.
5. Headphone Output Level Adjustment: Customize the headphone output level for optimal audio performance (requires an upcoming firmware update).
6. USB Indexing Enhancements: Improved album indexing for better browsing and organization (requires an upcoming firmware update).
7. VU Meter Mode: Choose whether the VU Meter displays the original signal or output signal level (requires an upcoming firmware update).
8. [Android] Artwork Display Fix: Resolved an issue affecting artwork display.

For #6 USB Indexing Enhancements addressing the album indexing issue, you need to perform a full rescan of your USB disk. Tap the More button at the top right corner of the USB Media Library page → Rescan USB Disk → Full Scan to apply the fix.

Just did a full scan of my usb disc be warned it broke all my playlists in my music got to recreate them all sigh

Hi Skull,

Sorry for the inconvenience! Please send us feedback via the WiiM Home app to help us investigate this issue. It seems that something caused the playlists to break on the WiiM device or app.

To late I am afraid I have deleted all of them now

TIDAL Daily Discovery: Added support for TIDAL’s "Daily Discovery" mix for curated music recommendations.

Been waiting for this one!
Hoping / expecting to be able to add it to a smart preset and simply press one button to get going.

 

[Maurizio]

Nothing has changed for me, because the changes require an upcoming firmware update, as mentioned in post #1 No 7.

Yes, and I've the new FW

 

[Erebus]

Android app has updated. Love the new Browse screen. Thank you WiiM!

 

[Wiimer]

And thanks to the addition of the VU meter background, my original screen is now complete

How did you change the background of the VU meter?

 

[Deleted member 14928]

Eventually a transparent foil

 

[canard]

Did you try a 0 dBFS signal?
How many bits in the volume?

Don't seem to fit the normal conversion.

(maybe if you can get an overload indicator/alert, specifying input or out...that would be something that could help to refine the preset level /gain etc...(without detailing the different circumstances sorry.. too long..)

I just put the glass film for the phone on the Ultra

The corruption of playlists and bookmarks has been an issue since you launched USB indexing with the Amp.

When performing a full rescan (assuming that's equivalent to a MiniDLNA rebuild) the indexing process reallocates track IDs, which has the potential to corrupt anything based on them.

Described in a bit more detail here: https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/sharing-music-on-usb.3804/post-59296

I have no idea if you've addressed that issue as I don't have an Amp/Ultra.

Yes. We have asked for that before. I don't think @WiiM Team understand

for use would not be so bad...but not decorative
This is the important point in digital... ( digitalised input, pregain, peq etc)

It may also be a bit more complicated to implement.

In analog audio systems, VU meters are used to measure the volume or level of the audio signal. The acceptable VU meter reading for analog audio systems is typically 0 VU, which corresponds to an average signal level of -20 dBFS (decibels below full scale).

For digital audio systems, the acceptable VU meter readings vary depending on the specific system and standard being used. In general, digital audio systems use peak meters or true peak meters to measure the maximum level of the audio signal, rather than VU meters. The acceptable peak meter readings for digital audio systems are often defined based on the bit depth and sample rate of the audio system.

For example, in a 16-bit audio system with a maximum peak level of 0 dBFS, the acceptable peak meter reading would be 0 dBFS. However, in a 24-bit audio system, where the dynamic range is greater, the acceptable peak meter reading might be -3 dBFS or lower.

It is their problem to understand and know how to manage this essential point in digitalized chains
the overload alert is the point allowing at least manual adjustment of gains... ( input digitalised, peq, pre-gain , "limiter" etc)
;-)

 

[canard]

Yes. We have asked for that before. I don't think @WiiM Team understand

 

[QuarryHunslet]

Yes, and I've the new FW

Which version number is it?

 

[canard]

(ps the " pregain" set to positive on the digital sources are really looking for trouble like peq etc)

 

[hgo58]

VU Meter Mode: Choose whether the VU Meter displays the original signal or output signal level.

Is the "original signal" before pre-gain and/or EQ?

 

[canard]

and if we judge it important and useful...the "overload alert"..we need to think about a return to Wiim Home for machines without a screen..
;-)

but I maintain that it is not up to us to have these reflections...over the years...
