WiiM app for Apple TV / tvOS

Hi, do you think the tvOS app will ever have the same functions as the IOS and Android versions. I only use my AppleTV and it would be awesome to completely control the WiiM from there, no phone involved.

The Apple TV WiiM Home app is going to be getting more functionality and we'll keep improving it over time, but I think as Burnside suggests, the input is a little too limited to be able to replace a mobile device as a fully functioned controller.

Can you add the Artist name on the display.

Also, could the album name be added to Ultra display.

I think the TV:REMOTE app for controlling roon on an Apple TV is a good benchmark. You can do a lot with it, and in 95% of cases do without the phone app (keeping it for settings is Okay, but browsing music through the Apple TV is so nice).
Also there is a bug in the current WiiM Apple TV app: if you adjust the volume via your phone or remote, it does not reflect on the TV app.
Still, I use it daily now !!!

Strange — the volume updates correctly in the Apple TV app for me when I change volume with my WiiM remote
