Not recognising all tracks on USB

[Brantome]

Good for them

my app says my firmware is up to date

Raise another ticket to WiiM requesting that they put you on the latest public firmware as you may be (like me) stuck on an earlier beta version.

Yeah ... so you are not already on the latest firmware.

Firmware v.5.0.611442 released

Glad to be of service. Won't bother you again.

I bought the Wii Amp few weeks ago and faced the same problem : Many files were not recognised on my USB stick.(only few hundreds files were recognised for a total of 5200)

I found out that the problem was related to the file names.
Most of my music files were named like that :
01 - song title 1.flac
02 - song title 2.flac
...
10 - song title 10.flac
11 - song title 11.flac
...

The scan process simply ignores all files with name starting with "0".
This is obviously a bug and my workaround is to remove all "0" at the beginning of all file names.
1 - song title 1.flac
2 - song title 2.flac
...
10 - song title 10.flac
11 - song title 11.flac

With this workaround my 5200 files are all recognized.

Hope this helps,

My files are named following a very similar pattern ...

01 First Song Title.flac
02 Second Song Title.flac
instead of
01 - First Song Title.flac
02 - Second Song Title.flac

... and there is no such issue. While you are at it, batch renaming your files anyway, could you try omitting the hyphen instead of the leading zero? This would still be a bug, but a different bug.

I can only repeat recommending MusicBee for managing music files in general and for synchronizing your library with thumb drives.

It might help to identify issues if we knew what version of MiniDLNA was installed - assuming WiiM haven't modified the

Mine shows the following for that:

Looks like it's been stripped of anything useful. The reply from MiniDLNA includes the base version number:

<modelName>Windows Media Connect compatible (MiniDLNA)</modelName>
<modelNumber>1.3.3</modelNumber>

Up till recently my WiiM Amp saw all the tracks on the USB drive I have attached, I removed the USB Stick to put more music on it.

I plugged it back into the amp and powered it on, did a rescan and now it only sees 2000 tracks.

No change on recent firmware update

I have tried deleting the cache but no no avail

Anyone have similar problem?
