is wiim app even allow wiim devices on different vlan?

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"

I need to ask why you have the WiiM on another lan than your phone. Is it a Mesh network?

In that case you can change the mode of the Mesh from being a local sub network to just being access points on the main network.

phone in local home network, wiim and everything else leaves in external one that doesn't have access to home. at least that was the idea.

it's different wifi networks on different isolated vlans, home/guest/iot/media whatnot

The split in home and media is a bit unusual and as you state, they are isolated. To allow discovery and communication across those you will have to break the isolation, one way or another.

I was just looking at this, as I just got a WiiM Pro Plus, and I wasn't able to connect through different VLANs. I had resolved this on my Android TV for casting, but the Pro Plus refused to work for some reason.

I noticed that by default, WiiM devices relies on Google DNS: 8.8.8.8 by default. If you already have Multicast mDNS (across VLANs), you may want to make sure that your WiiM device is actually pointing back at your LOCAL DNS rather than Google's. It should be your Gateway IP in your VLAN. Tested this with Ubiquiti gear and works wonders now.

Edit: Beware that to make the changes in the WiiM device you have to be in the same VLAN. The WiiM Home app assumes you can only change the last octet if you're not in the same VLAN.
