While I had decent success with v0.1.5, neither v0.1.6 nor v0.1.7 will operate for more than 15 seconds without self-terminating (no visible error, just closes its window). It enumerates my devices (3) and the local home music server (the laptop on which it is running), and will even switch display "windows" based on mouse action (before it summarily closes). Apparently, some background action is failing. Where are any logfiles kept??

Just installed the new version on my MacBook M2, but I must be missing something as there seems to be no USB input option on the Ultra!. I do have an USB drive connected which shows up on the IOS app. Have rebooted the Ultra to no avail?. Re-Installed the IOS version for now.

While the Wiim Home App is very good, I would like to see the Windows version brought up to spec.
I have an old 10" laptop which would be perfect for the job.

I'm getting same problem with 1.7, didn't have this with earlier Betas. Only thought I have is that Wiim pro plus in on ethernet and Windows laptop is on wifi?
Edit - I just tried installing 1.3 (only other version I had available) which used to work but now gives same problem). I'll check my anti virus next.
Edit - It was Bitdefender causing the problem - I had to uninstall it

It seems to be using the first artist from the artist tag to define albums.
I assume you have embedded artwork as it doesn't appear to be picking up external.
All my music has a cover.jpg and also embedded as far as i know. The Lana Del Rey album I bought and the tags seemed fine, so before posting this I used TagScanner and tagged it with discogs, and manually removed the "Feat." artists from the title tags, still a broken album with any view I could find.
The Artist tag on all tracks is Lana Del Rey

I assume you mean artist not title tag?
Admittedly I tested this on a clean install, I didn't check if the rescan process was effective.
EDIT: I've just noticed your edit.

I'm definitely seeing the split by first artist as you can see:
With the order of artists as defined by MusicBrainz: https://musicbrainz.org/release/a11d6ca1-d3bc-424f-9403-e3aecfa1ca09
In fact I don't even see the additional artists under the Artists category, so I don't think it reads them at all.
From your first WHA screenshot it appears that your Artist tag was set to 'Lana Del Ray feat. Father John Misty' (not multivalue), which would explain why it was a separate "album".
Either way it's broken as it should be using AlbumArtist.

The only place I could see any reference to feat. artist was in the Title tag in () and I manually removed all those. still comes up as a split album. I didn't see feat. in the Artist tag?
I may start using just the Artist tag only for my Classical music and leave out the AlbumArtist
The Artist tag is displayed below the Album tag in the album listing. If it were displaying the Title tag surely you'd see the name of the song too, not just the contents between the brackets?
When I'm in any doubt I'll dump out the raw values:
Code:
Format-Hex -Path filename.flac -Count 2048You might want to start with a clean state by deleting the existing database from your user folder: AppData\Local\com.linkplay.wiimhome\beets\musiclibrary.db

I deleted the musiclibrary.db and it took quite a while to recreate, but the album in question is correct now!
I doubt i will go though all the albums that are not correct, I think they will fix this in future version. Looking for DLNA server that will support my DSD64 so I can play them.
there is a "rescan" feature, I guess sort of a refresh that may be worth trying in the future?
All I know is the references to the feat. artist I removed were in the Title tag, after rebuilding db now one album.

I have the same issue on Mac, can’t for the life of me find where to delete them.
Did you try the "rescan"? hard to say on a Mac...
