WiiM app for Apple TV / tvOS

[Seilenos]

Question for the developers.

For this moment I perforce using PLEX App for listening my music home library from the Apple TV through Wiim Pro Plus.
This setup has some troubles like AirPlay2 quality limitations, changing external output before listening, problems with tracks rewind... etc.
Do you have any plans for port WiiM App from iOS to Apple tvOS or, may be, it is already in alpha/beta testing in TestFlight?

May I ask how you're connecting your Apple TV to the WiiM Pro Plus?

Same way the iOS app connects to WiiM devices.
A tvOS app would bring a “WiiM ultra screen” to everyone.

Pros:
Similar Roon’s tv cast ability (but on device)
High performance and snappiness of Apple TV
Large album art and song play controls, sample rate information etc.
Perhaps lyrics implementation for future releases (personally I don’t care if it is song matched)
Perhaps more art and artist information (Roon like) for future releases

Cons:
Still WiFi output use
Tv audio connection is redundant (which I personally prefer but I would understand if that’s a problem for others)

I created an account for this exact request but Seilenos was faster!
I think it would be a superb app for tvOS
Please consider it!
Thanks!

Trough AirPlay2

All AppleTV products have Ethernet RJ45 Port (except 4K 2022 64), like as all WiiM products (except Mini).

Oh ok, we ask for different reasons then.

You would like to use the Apple TV for both screen and sound, I would like to use it only for the screen and I still use my own dac connected to the WiiM. I would say both are valid.

Yeah I wasn’t vey clear when I said WiFi, I stand corrected, thanks. Also when I mean everyone, of course I meant everyone with an Apple TV!!

Still it would be a great app!
Cheers

In the meantime (you may already have considered this), connecting your TV's optical out port to your WiiM Pro Plus could give you better sound and the control you seek whilst enjoying the Plex app. Of course, such a connection has to be possible with your setup.

I also suggested what you are asking for as a better alternative to a request for a Now Playing output via HDMI on another thread.
