Playback Screen - Spectrum and VU Meter - missing "Home" button

[tandrasi]

Hi,

I'm on App version 3.4.0 and WiiM Ultra firmware version 5.2.736552.

I've been testing out the new "Spectrum" playback screen and while it's awesome, the "Home" icon appears to be missing making interaction impossible via the touchscreen, i.e. I cannot change inputs, outputs, etc...

This is the WiiM Ultra screen itself:






This is the WiiM app - notice that even here the "Home" icon is missing from the Spectrum and VU Meter playback screens. All other playback screens have the "Home" icon. Without it, interaction is cut off.

Hi tandrasi,

You can swipe left and right to change the UI. Please give it a try and let us know how it goes. Thank you!

That looks really cool, but it's not available for amp ultra, is it coming for this device?

Yes, it will come for the Amp Ultra as well, but it requires a firmware update for that.

How to get this version? I have only blue color of spectrum and song name is not showed up. I play music from tidal.

This Ultra firmware version was only released two days ago, so it should start to become available within the next few days.

Then you are probably on the beta release? Drop out of beta and you will get the latest update.

Drop out of beta and you will get the latest update.

I was in the beta, but I didn't have to drop out for this update; it just appeared as an update in the app.

Oh my... why I didn't try swiping is beyond me! I even tried long pressing the screen haha. But yes, swiping left/right works great! Thank you.

Probably because @WiiM Support have not documented it.

And, yes. The "Home" button is missing from some of the Ultra screens.

Tried it on my Ultra - very cool, and yes the swipe works fine

Mmhh, I can't get this firmware for the Amp Ultra yet.
When I push the "Join Beta Testing" button, I get the message there's no newer Beta Firmware available.
My Amp Ultra has firmware version 5.2.734250.

Well, we'll have to wait a little longer then....

All in good time, a little patience is required.

And, yes. The "Home" button is missing from some of the Ultra screens.

And it looks to me like this has been done on purpose.
