Wiim does not have any streaming applications installed...

Really?

Really?

I think he means you can't play any of them from the touch screen.

Really?

Yes and no. The WiiM software architecture is different from the streamers that is Android based.

The WiiM device don't run installable applications but internal services (linux processes). These services are accessed and controlled by the WiiM Home App.

Some of it can also be controlled by the Ultra screen but not all of it. This is also true for the Windows, Mac and TV WiiM apps.

I didn't read in the specifications that the wiim is on Linux , I'll try to get used to it , the presets are helpful , it's a pity that only 12 , because on them you can save your playlists , notsty on how much you can already play a particular album without using your phone , or search for an artist .

I believe there’s been chat of increasing that number from 12 to 32 iirc…

It's not documented, as it doesn't matter to the end user.

It's just not a Android system running Android apps.
