Ultra transcoding using Chromecast from Plex

Unfortunately this is the latest update we got
A bit of a farce after many months without any news.

An update on Plex(amp) integration, that would be something to write about

I'm very excited to possibly write one someday

Yeah. I changed that setting to "flac". It plays but it usually crashes out after a song or two. I'm likely just going to have to be patient for Wiim to get the endpoint working for Plex. Hopefully there's no issues with that. I'll be all over any beta for that. Thanks.

I am experiencing Wiim App crashing after two songs being played as well, it also does not cue all the album tracks. This occurred with the recent Wiim Ultra firmware update. Plex has been running with no problem for months. I'm not across where or how transcoding operates. FYI - Running Plex server on ubuntu, tested with andriod & ios wiim apps - same problem.

If anyone can elaborate on 'OPUS - transcode' vs 'Direct Play' and how the Ultra should handling this request, it may assist in resolving the incidents listed in this thread.

UPDATE - Issue now resolved. Updated to WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.709956 which was released 4 days ago which may or may not have been the resolution.
