Interesting WHA update just pushed to Android:


What is a WiiM PC Media Server? Another way to describe DLNA or somesuch?

Minor but useful updates for Qobuz and Tidal integration, I guess.

I was wondering that too, but couldn't find any mention of it anywhere. I eventually assumed it was a typo that should have said "Windows PC Media Server"? Will be interesting to see if Wiim do release some sort of server software (although personally I'm an LMS guy and more than happy with the integration)

I believe it's the desktop WHA.

@WiiM Support It would be so good if WiiM started to use a common terminology for everything WiiM related in all documentation (FAQ, Release Notes, UI). So we don't have to guess!

I believe it's the desktop WHA.

When included DLNA service is enabled.

I still can't figure this out. If there is any media server running, then the WiiM Home app on our smartphone shouldn't have to do any indexing. It's supposed to be done by the media server.
