USB files not being recognized

[simbun]

I didn't follow this discussion too closely but just wanted to note: Clicking on USB or Home Music Share and then the WiiM DLNA server opens exactly the same view on my WiiM Amp and on my WiiM Ultra.

There is no difference whatsoever.

At some point I'm sure Home Music Share had a more traditional MiniDLNA view than USB Input but it sounds like that's changed.

It sounded like @cheznous was seeing different results on their Android and iOS device, which got me thinking. It could be that the Ultra/Amp is performing the traditional MiniDLNA indexing and the apps are translating that data to create the new view, just as it's doing now with Windows Media Sharing.
Maybe that's why the app needs to be on during scanning, not for the core scanning itself but to cache it in the app.
If this were the case then every device that runs the app would need to perform a rescan.

Yep, I was just checking that out. Same display and same results for me (only 50 songs display of the 1052 that were originally detected by the scan on the USB).

Did you check the status page?

Hmmm ..... "status page" ??? Sorry, not sure what you're referring to. Link didn't work for me.

Did you use the IP address of your ultra? You can't just click on the link.

Pretty sure that this is not the case. But will explicitly check again later.

When attempting to go to the IP address of my Ultra I get the following error...

403 Forbidden "Your client does not have permission to get URL / from this server."

What should I be able to see?

WiiM's media server is based on the MiniDLNA project, which provides a status page containing several indexing metrics and the list of connected clients.



I know it used to be accessible on the Amp, but perhaps WiiM have disabled it.

I was curious to see if this page reflected the 1052 tracks originally reported.
