New user: when optical input, how to see the bitrate?

[timattrn]

I have digital input going into the optical input, so in the case the WiiM pro is acting as a DAC.
How do I see the birtate? The app show a generic image and no information. I just got it today and it did an update immediately
I have firmware 4.8.517862 build date 20230523

WIiM App> Device (gear icon) > Audio Settings> SPDIF Output Resolution

Select the appropriate resolution here.

The bitrate is displayed on the screen during playback.

Not for optical input (as I said in my post). I have attached what I see (By the way, my question is about optical input, not output)

 

[Wiimer]

Sorry, I misunderstood...

Although I've never used optical input so I'll only guess.

I think that WiiM pro does not have a function to obtain bitrate information from optical input. For example, even with Bluetooth input, the Wiim app does not display the bitrate. I think you can only do that when streaming and playing in DLNA.

Thanks.
I have a follow up question but I'll make a new post

I think this might have been mentioned in the past - if you don’t see anything in the forum, raise a ticket via the feedback section in the Wiim home app

thanks. I have done that. I requsted that the app show bit density and sample frequency of optical input.

It looks like the bitrate has been removed in a recent fw update see post #90

I think that was referring to an input stream from LMS, and not what I think the OP is asking here which is the Pro's physical optical input resolution

 

[Patricia P]

Yes I did not read the entire thread. The op said it doesn’t show bitrate on media directly connected by optical.

 

[onlyoneme]

Bitrate cannot be shown over digital output as there is no file length known to the WiiM to let it calculate the bitrate.

The audio resolution could be possible to visualize.

Hi,
any news about the stream information on optical input? Any chance it will be available?
