Tidal view playlist name in Tidal Connect

How to see playlist name in Tidal Connect?

Not sure what the question is.

Tidal Connect means using the Tidal app on your phone/tablet/smart device to control what the WiiM device requests from Tidal's servers. If you can see the name of the playlist in your Tidal app, then this is how it works.

Sorry, maybe I didn't ask the question correctly.I see the playlist name in the TIDAL app, as shown in the image, but not in the wiim app.

On my Android tablet I can't even see the playlist name in the Tidal app!
In the wiim app all I can see is the currently playing song, I can't see the playlist contents either.
I assume that the wiim effectively only knows about the current song it's been told to play, with none of the context.

Edit: In the Tidal app, when playing to the local device (Android tablet) it says, for example, 'Playing From My Mix 4'.
When sending to the wiim via tidal connect it simply says 'Playing From Tidal connect'.
i.e. I completely lose all playlist context.

Yeah, and as @harkpabst says above, if you are using the Tidal app to Connect to your WiiM then why do you need to look at the WiiM app at all? Expending any development effort on what the WiiM app displays in this use case would be a waste of time …

Yes, Tidal connect misses: playlist name, doesn't keep track of recently played, doesn't do autostart of similar song after end of an album or a playlist, doesn't apply volume normalization.
These are tidal's long known quirks that its support always ignored. Maybe there are technical limitations...

I use wiin app from my tablet and mobile, it is my receiver and hub, I think it is reasonable that in wiim I also see the name of the Tidal, Spotify playlist... I have transferred the query to support and this has been their answer:

Currently, the WiiM app does not support displaying the list name during playback.​

If you use the WiiM Home App on your tablet and mobile to start, stop and control streaming from Tidal, then you are not using Tidal Connect.

I understand your request, but this is a different thing.

Well...
You can tidal connect to a wiim and then use the WHA to pause/resume and skip tracks.

Yes, I can.

I have reviewed what you mentioned and you are right, I simply use Tidal from wiim home. I have a response from support regarding their roadmap in this regard:

We plan to support this feature at the end of October this year. ​
