According to BubbleUPnP my WiiM Amp Pro's Chromecast server advertises AAC, FLAC, M4A, MP3, OGG, OPUS and WAV.

I was wondering if it's possible to view what format and bitrate is in use when casting in the app.
Or whether this could be a possible feature request.

I'm curious to see what Apple Music streams via the android chromecast versus YouTube Music, for example.
 
WiiM removed that casting information from Chromecast as they couldn’t reliably extract it so rather than displaying potentially incorrect info, they don’t show it.

I think you’ll find there’s little or no difference between Apple Music over Chromecast v. YouTube Music. Because Chromecast doesn’t support lossless ALAC, you’ll get lossy 256kbps AAC, and for YouTube the same.

Edited: removed 320kbps for YouTube re this link https://www.noteburner.com/youtube-music-tips/youtube-music-audio-quality.html
