Spotify Playlists as Presets and Handling Their Changes

[b3kcza]

Hello, just bought WiiM Amp and it's working flawlessly. One thing bothers me tho with WiiM Home app and how it handles Presets.
(I know I should probably ditch the app and just handle my music needs with Spotify app itself, BUT...)

I have used preset position 1,2,3,4 to different Playlists set in Spotify and it works as intended, until I mess with playlists and their songs.

For example my Preset position 1 is "Liked Songs" from Spotify and obviously the list grows as I like new music content in Spotify.
The problem is Preset 1 option is starting playback in WiiM Home with the song it was created with. Any newer songs added (this is my default sorting in Spotify Playlists - new songs on top) are basically ignored and Preset starts with that certain song, no matter what.

Question is - is it made that way and Presets are hard-tied to the Song preset was created with or am I missing something?
From my tests it looks like WiiM Home app doesn't update playlists from Spotify once preset is created.

PS. I will be doing tests with "New Music Friday" tomorrow as I already built a preset for it and the whole playlist is gonna be erased and replaced tomorrow.

I don't know if this is the solution, but if you have edited the playlist in the Spotify app, please try to overwrite (re-register) the preset in the WiiM app.

That would work obviously, I tried that. Imagine doing that if you add new items to playlists every other day. It's just better to use Spotify, I guess.

What I've been hoping most for was the convenience to just push 1/2/3/4 on the remote and dont even bother launching Spotify.

PS. "New Music Friday" plays the new content, but I'm pretty sure it's due the way it is updated, meaning whole last week content is removed and replaced with new suggestions on every Friday.
