Something Big is Coming to WiiM Home

[Burnside]

Thanks.

So it will require navigation on the TV screen.

It would appear so. I see it much along the lines of the excellent display projects posted on the forum by @cc_rider et al, or the use of the RNP plugin on Lyrion/LMS - it’s a means of displaying WiiM streams on the same network on a separately controlled display.

WiiM have said they’ll be extending the functionality, but I don’t know if they would go or want to go the full hog and have this as a full version of the mobile apps. We’d only get illogical complaints like “does this mean I need my tv on to control my WiiM device”

This screengrab from a user on the WiiM Facebook page might be helpful…

Happy to find a settings there .
(Next to Now playing is device settings, right?)

Yes, yes, the best WiiMs along with Apple really know how to make technology. This implementation is great for me. Regards!!!

So, what version of the Apple TV can support this?

Will it be available to Android TV?

Please peruse the thread. See comment #34

Which browsers can:

1. Work with remote (no mouse)

2. Appear full screen (hide address bar)

On Android TV, that would be 'TV Bro'.

It’s working now for me after the update! This is quite nice. I think for me, the biggest improvement would be if it showed the current track progress bar on the TV. As I sometimes have highly variable volume between tracks in my playlists, it’s good to know if the track will end soon as I like to turn volume back down before it ends so that the next track, it a lot louder, isn’t startling (I like to play with shuffle on, so the next track is not known until it starts).

And if you have a spare Raspberry Pi (or anything capable of running Node.js) lying around, I will just shamelessly plug my solution: https://github.com/cvdlinden/wiim-now-playing

On topic: Good to see WiiM jumping on the "I want to see what is playing on a TV display" request that's been going around for months or longer. E.g. https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/tv-display.4708/

Displaying the next track, near the end of the current track, would be nice.
Spotify does it....

Why did Wiim choose to develop for Apple first? I would have thought fewer users than Android tv, or is the programming easier?

Don't you like Replaygain?

Don't you like Replaygain?

Last time (was a while ago, admittedly) I tried it and it didn’t work/do anything. Perhaps because I’m using Qobuz?

Add as a feature the lyrics synchronization with the track being played

Hi Ed,

Replay Gain is now supported for Qobuz, including both album-level and track-level adjustments.

Feel free to give it a try, and if you run into any issues, please submit a support ticket—we’re happy to help. Thank you!

I think Qobuz only has track level

Hi Wiimer, Team

Google TV is definitely on the horizon. Regarding the FireTV stick, our team is still evaluating the feasibility. Thank you for your patience and support!

Hi WiiM, support for Fire TV Stick is a must.

These devices account for over a third of the market, so it's not a trivial number.

Hi LP007FR, team

We're currently troubleshooting the issue - it may be related to a permission setting. Since this is the first release of our Apple TV app, a few initial glitches are expected. Thanks for your patience as we work to resolve it!

now working well thx
