Screen Options

[SansuiSushi]

Came up with some ideas I would like to see as options for that screen

For me Minimalism skin is best...but It will be cool to add a small bar on the bottom to see progress of the song.

I‘d like to have a clock screen during playback on my Ultra.
Currently I can only select clocks for the standby screen.

I frequently miss my bed time while listening to music …

This was suggested more than a year ago in this thread. It looks like @WiiM Team either cannot do it or they don't want to.

As a workaround, If you select a clock face while playing it will show until you change your playing.

All the more important to bring topic back to WiiM‘s attention. I‘m sure there are more folks who would like to see this feature.

Yes. My self included but as long as we still don't get major issues fixed (hint HDMI CEC, DLNA, etc) I won't push for minor stuff.

I can‘t see anything wrong with either eARC or DLNA. Would you please point me in the right direction?

Not really ARC (and never eARC) but CEC discovery. See the thread 'HDMI ARC hijacking inputs' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/hdmi-arc-hijacking-inputs.7715/

For the DLNA casting from the WiiM see eg. Post in thread 'Beta Test: DLNA Cast' https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/beta-test-dlna-cast.3793/post-128636

This is just examples of outstanding issues that needs to to get fixed before adding new minor features.

Thank you. But those are really special use case issues for me. TBH I couldn‘t care less.
With DLNA cast FROM a WiiM device being a total folly.

I guess that most users couldn't care less about a clock on the screen.

We do all have different priorities. Some of this is bugs in the current functionality, while others are nice to have functions.

I just hope @WiiM Team prioritize solving bugs over new features.

I know what you mean. And I wouldn‘t want to be in the shoes of a developer with WiiM or any other contender in this business.
Everybody wants something else, most of it being pretty much ‚very special‘ to completely out of this world.
The results are totally overloaded menues in the apps and the majority of users getting frustrated because they cannot find what is really essential. I hope WiiM doesn‘t step into this trap too deeply. Even if this means that I won‘t get my playback clock.
