WiiM Home App v2.10.7 Update - Jul 24, 2024

[bird]

I updated the iOS WiiM Home App today.
According to WiiM, there should be a icon in the upper right corner of the Home Music Share page. I can only see all the UPNP connections and now icon to add a samba share. I have the current firmware on my mini and the NAS is a Synology.

I don’t think the mini’s firmware has been updated to support Samba yet. It’s on its roadmap, so hopefully will get it soon.

In my opinion, there should be a separate functionality for evaluating, displaying and saving (maybe to the foto album) the frequency response.
This should be doable first and/or after RC or, more in general, in every moment in order to evaluate also custom EQ etc.

Yes, yes , yes! See post #6

Like many others, machine name is NOT working but IP address is. It works fine on other machines so assuming it's a Wiim issue with DNS.

In WiiM Device Network Status Setup, do you have "Preferred DNS Server" Enabled?? IPv6 Enabled??
If the former, is the listed DNS Address that for Google's 8.8.8.8, or for your Home Router?? Local Machine Names aren't propagated to Google DNS. (And while IPv6 makes complications to DNS Resolution, I've no direct experience or need - so always Off)

The iOS/iPadOS Version 2.10.8 has now been released through TestFlight.

In WiiM Device Network Status Setup, do you have "Preferred DNS Server" Enabled?? IPv6 Enabled??
If the former, is the listed DNS Address that for Google's 8.8.8.8, or for your Home Router?? Local Machine Names aren't propagated to Google DNS. (And while IPv6 makes complications to DNS Resolution, I've no direct experience or need - so always Off)

Preferred DNS server is off (8.8.8.8 is greyed out). If it uses the router, that's what it's currently set to. But it should be checking the local network and finding it - it's not a remote server. It also has a static IP. Only the Wiim has troubles finding it.
IP6 is not enabled as I don't use it, and it's also disabled in multiple places.

Not sure if it was in this release or a (recent) prior one, but the app now works on Chromebooks (as an Android app). I hope it was intentional and you're just keeping it somewhat un-publicized for a while... vs. being inadvertent. It seems to work perfectly.
That's a really helpful enhancement. Thank you!
