I’d submit another ticket to WiiM then when that happens so the can inspect your device logs for clues - use the more/feedback section in the WiiM appI do get the Chromecast icon on Nugs and it synchs up to the Ultra. I hear a nice tone and see it on the screen. Unfortunately it doesn't play.
I don't see anywhere
Unfortunately the update for the Nugs>Chromecast is very buggy. As soon as you start doing anything in the Nugs app, it goes off track. And if I switch to Bluetooth to do listening comparison, I lose ability to regain Chromecast connection. Sound quality is greatly improved w CC, so a step in the right direction for sure!
It's to the right of the first post. But... I think I remembered that you can't vote for your own suggestion. : /
A bit late to the conversation but Nugs offers a HQ lossless stream option for Chromecast (assuming it really woulds stream the source losslessly, didn't know that) or anyone who's not streaming to the Ultra wirelessly:
How much do subscriptions cost?
nugs Premium subscriptions start at $14.99/month or $149.99/year for MP3 quality audio-only streaming. nugs All Access subscriptions are $19.99/month or $199.99/year and give you access to premium quality audio streaming and HD video access (...
help.nugs.net
My current Ultra setup is Mac Mini (where I stream Nugs) -> USB/TOSLINK converter -> Optical into the Ultra
I'm still on the Nugs lossy plan b/c I don't think it's worth the money for lossless on my desktop with the small active speakers I'm using, but if the Ultra supported Nugs natively it may be enough to push me to buy another Ultra for my primary audio system and upgrade Nugs so I could have lossless to the main system. Although I actually end up buying most any Nugs show that I really want in FLAC and it ends up in Roon which accomplishes the same thing for the keepers.
Do any streamers natively support Nugs?
Bluesound does, as far as I can tell.
By "they" I assume you mean bluesound?
Regardless, I was under the impression that non-gapless playback was a chromecast limitation, and that protocols (for want of a better word) like Roon were gapless with chromecast because the music was presented as a single stream.
Waiting to be

Sorry, “they” meaning anyone here. I see chromecast being tossed out there as a workaround for there not being a nugs.net direct integration.
My understanding is that chromecast is NOT gapless, and if that’s the case, it’s a total nonstarter for Nugs. Nugs is a 98% live concerts of jam / rock bands, it would make for an awful experience.
I guess it depends on how Nugs broadcasts that stream - if it plays them as a continuous stream like a radio, then Chromecast won’t insert gaps. Gapless generally refers to a property of an album which may be listed with separate tracks but should play without gaps between those tracks. If you’re playing a ”gapless” album from a streaming service over Chromecast, then that property won’t be honoured and you’ll get gaps between tracks.
It is such a bummer, and bigger bummer that I already own a WiiM Ultra and they have told me that it's a Nugs problem and Nugs says they can't fix it either. Hopefully the bluesound works out for you!
