Specifically for the TV App

[Steve Woodhouse]

Please improve the TV app so that it can show visualisers, VU meters, etc.

A lot of people appear to be very much in love with VU meters at the moment, so having them on a 55", 65", 75"...who knows, 100" TV should put a big smile on their faces.

Thank you.

Radio Paradise do also work from the WiiM Home App. This is because it is not a real radio station but a stream that is playing individual tracks with time information (like a playlist).

What's a 'real' radio station in 2026? I'd wager that even North Korea Radio 1 is broadcast via 'recorded" playlists including the news

Listen to Pyongyang FM 105.2 from Pyongyang live on Radio Garden

The difference here is that a continuous stream, as most radio stations use, don't contain timing information. A playlist and a service like Radio Paradise do.

I'm pretty sure that Radio Paradise consider themselves to be a very real radio station. A radio station using up-to-date technology.

They cast 7 different channels, manually curated, they pay the royalties for all the music they broadcast, and they offer you to skip a limited number of tracks (but you cannot move backwards through the timeline). By my personal standards they qualify as a radio station.

You can if you’re playing radio via Lyrion, the WiiM tv app will then show lyrics. Just doing that with the excellent Radio Paradise Mellow Mix.

I searched for a discussion of Radio Paradise and how the WiiM [Apple] TV app fails to show lyrics on Radio Paradise tracks while it's streaming by my WIiM Ultra. Apparently, the track metadata is skewed in such a way, that the TV app fails to ID the track and find the lyrics.

I inadvertently discovered that if I use the Radio Paradise Apple TV app to play the FLAC stream through my Ultra via HDMI, there are definately no lyrics (Just "HDMI" and fixed bit-rate info ;-). But when I also played the stream to a WiiM mini out in my shop via AirPlay, showing the WiiM mini's status on the WiiM TV app displays Album art + Title - Artist - [StreamName-In-Lieu-of-Album; i.e: 'Mellow Mix'] and lyrics!

I now gather that Lyrion provides a similar Lyric-enabling metadata rearrangement.
