[r2d2]

I was doing all sort of firewall rules and tcpdumps
Does the app actually allow user to manage wiim players it finds on different network?
It finds mine but blocks management with "On other networks" with only option to manage is "Forget"

The interface between the WiiM Home App and the WiiM devices uses the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol for discovery and initial control and that is designed to work within a single local network (LAN) only.

So as long this protocol is used, the app will only work within the same lan.

I don't think that will ever change.

The "on other networks" message is because the device has been discovered before (and saved by the app) but are not seen on the current lan.
