The only thing that bothers me about new features is the impression I get that previous features get forgotten about. New flavour of the month seems to be a WiiM 5.1 system. Whatever happened to adding calibration files for room correction and other improvements like L/R channel room correction with subwoofer? Nothing appears to get finished.
And there is many outstanding bugs also. I surely hope @WiiM Team have the resources to handle all and priorities bug fixing over new features.
The last one is 5.1 although since, in my opinion, the ARC is a bit of a strong point of WiiM and, thank God, it works, it should be at the top of their priorities.Except for this case where it means Automatic Room Correction. This is the problem with abbreviations
In particular if you come up with your own abbreviations nobody else knows. I've been scratching my head for a good minute ...Except for this case where it means Automatic Room Correction. This is the problem with abbreviations
Context is everything
. I've seen it used in other posts...One of the thing I enjoy reading your post. Anyway, I think wiim should answer the general forum when they tag them even if their answer is something we don’t like instead being ignored. Implementing features takes time and resource especially if minority only wants it. Like any company they prioritize the majority over minority.Yup, just like "Customer Service" replies the world over and they get paid for writing that BS. They don't even read the questions and think a reply like that is satisfactory. Then they move onto the next one and copy and paste the same thing.
Well it seems that WiiM can't please you. You started this thread "WiiM really let me down" because they didn't enact a feature you requested. But in the above post you say "I much preferred the old style WiiM. Their first commitment was to fix the glitches, and 90% of the time they succeeded". So what would you prefer? The old WiiM or a new version that enacts new features no matter how popular those feature might be?I totally agree with @hgo58 and @slartibartfast. I much preferred the old style WiiM. Their first commitment was to fix the glitches, and 90% of the time they succeeded. Then came the new features. One at a time, over time, but these also worked 90% of the time.
One day they got caught up in a frenzy. They opened I don't know how many Beta Tests at the same time and the funny thing is that all traces of each of them have been lost. Are they finished? What stage are they at? Whoa!!
But, as @slartibartfast says, what happened to the import of calibration files? Nobody knows.
Another thing that is often requested, always regarding ARC, is the addition of more filters, but this too is a dead letter.
In House Curve, for example, I could use from 1 to 20 filters. Obviously I use 10 because WiiM doesn't go beyond that and I wouldn't know what to do with corrections beyond 10 filters because I couldn't copy them into WiiM's PEQ. However, if it were possible to use more filters, we would certainly have an even more precise EQ. Furthermore, HC allows smoothing even at 1/24 of an octave.
In conclusion, in my opinion, the right order of intervention,before adding more Beta Tests, should be:
1) Fix once and for all the various malfunctions, which in reality are not that few
2) Improve and complete functions that already work well. See ARC
You should read more carefully. I was not complaining whether they had implemented a function or not. I was simply asking if and when they would do so.
If anything your response is insulting to WiiM support. I doubt you have any idea how many WiiM staff to answer online inquiries. If you sent several inquiries maybe different staff responded. Who knows. But to say they are "stupid" is pretty low IMO.
