OK, well...this might be a little dense, but...
I am a l o n g time streamer. I swear, I'm pretty sure I had something...even before a Squeezebox (back when they were still Slim Devices), but I can't remember what. And my (audiophile) streaming journey, took me through to 4-figure units like Aurender, etc. But...my needs simplified, and I just held on to my Auralic Aries Mini after the rest of my high-dollar kit was long gone.
But recently...I bought some "new" stuff. First...an Eversolo DMP-A6, and now a WiiM Ultra (for a headphone rig I'm setting up). When I first got the Ultra, I just started out...by linking up my TIDAL account; and that was easy-peasy. But now I'm trying to link-up, my 2T worth of files...and was surprised to find, it wasn't exactly a snap.
I've got everything, on an Server running unRAID...and most of my devices (like the Eversolo, and my trusty AAM...and others before it), can find the Networked/NAS share. But the WiiM app didn't. My Google-fu is decent, so I started to search; seems you've got to go the DLNA route? I know DLNA, of course...but man, talk about going back to the olden days (although, I did have a similar problem...with an FiiO SR11 I recently tried. One of the reasons, it went back).
In my Google-ing for the WiiM...I saw PLEX. I do run a PLEX Server, so...I turned on the DLNA, as instructed...and WiiM did then, see that Music library (aka MyMUSIC). Here's the problem: the PLEX is mostly for Video. The Audio share that I do have set up, I use for PlexAMP mobile. I don't keep, all 2T worth of files in there; only what I want OTG (including like Audiobooks, etc). Sure...I guess I could set up, another Plex Music library...and push that through DLNA, to the WiiM. It just seems a little tweak-y, and round-about...for what's supposed to be the easiest UI in the biz.
Did I miss something? Is there a better way? If not...not trying to troll; but I might have to give a Bluesound Nano an audition.
