What are the outstanding issues with the WiiM software?

[hgo58]

I think we, in this forum, could benefit from compiling a list of the fixes for the WiiM firmware and app we are waiting for.
This shall NOT be a list of feature requests or beta test issues, only regular bugs we have seen and discussed in the forum.

The hope is that the @WiiM Team will prioritize this over new features, so that we can get a product that function as intended.

Note, this is not a critique of WiiM. They do more than most companies. With the fast release schedules it is expected that not all can be correct and fully tested.

Here is my initial list:

• HDMI with CEC off don't behave as descibed and expected when TV is turned on.
• WiiM Group volume is not used used when external apps are connected to Group (e.g. Spotify).
• Renamed Input selections is not reflected on Ultra display.
• Album name is missing on Ultra display when displaying track meta data.
• Linked devices do not always show correct meta data on the other devices.
• The VU meter display on Ultra freezes when playing paused, instead of going to zero.
• Volume control in the WiiM Home App on Android do not work on all pages and when in the background.

Please add your outstanding issues to the list.

Please. Fix all the issues with the onboard DSP. EQ freezes and is very unpredictable. Often boosting when cutting. Improve GUI for EQ and filtering.

First I've heard of these "issues". Maybe you should start a new thread discussing them.

Please add as list and what has already been discussed or reported to WiiM as bugs. See comment #1.

USB Media:
- Only the first 500 titles will be played from large playlists. That's especially annoying when shuffle is turned on and the first 500 tracks are not representative for the entire playlist.

- Albums with multiple discs won't be played in correct order even though each track has its disc number and track number stored in meta fields.

I noticed the same with DLNA: have you tried to change the sort order to default?

I just checked again: It's working as expected now
I reported the issue last week and did not see it fixed in the change log. So I assumed it has not yet been fixed. Turned out to be wrong. Nice surprise!

USB library does not understand various artist or compilation and creates hundreds (thousands) of albums. Also more than 1 artist in the artist field ie Eric Clapton & Tom Petty creates 2 albums.

Per post #5, above:

WiiM Home App only cues </= 502 tracks from a large DLNA library, rendering shuffle play useless for any library larger than 502 tracks.
