WiiM Home App v3.0.4 Update - Dec 4, 2024

Sadly you still can't see live albums on the Plex artist page. Only the studio ones.
Sounds like the same problem as with the DLNA interface. If you disable release type grouping in Plex do they reappear?
 
The new Standby Wallpapers Customization (WiiM Ultra) is weird.

When first applied, the UI will not let you apply another (customize button is gone). Then, if you start playing something, you can go back into the settings and apply a new standby screen and it is immediately set, even though the Ultra is not in standby.

Maybe it's on purpose but then it should no longer be called "Standby Screen Wallpaper" and this behavior should be documented in the release notes (and other documents).
Hi Hgo58,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused!

Regarding the issue with the missing "Customize" button, this is a known issue in our app. We will investigate it further and work on a fix. Could you please help us by submitting a ticket through the WiiM Home app? This will assist us in debugging the problem, and we will prioritize it as soon as we receive the details.

Additionally, we are planning to address this by ensuring that customized wallpapers are displayed immediately after being set in the next firmware update.

Warm regards,
WiiM Support

Installed the update today and now all my SMB share folders play albums in alphabetic instead of track order.

@WiiM Support Please reread the description. I think you have misunderstood the issue about setting the Standby Screen.

Oh boy 😅

Even though I'd love to be able to change the background of the "home menu" on my Ultra and it's nice to see added support for new music services with every update, maybe they should focus on refining some of these core functions first.

Good grief. That's horrible and should not occur. Very basic functionality to maintain track order in albums. And key to the music experience. Artists put consideration into the order of music on albums, and while often you might not play an entire album or only add a few songs to the queue, the track order should be maintained while viewing and listening to albums. Pink Floyd ain't the same if the tracks are re-ordered alphabetically, without even mentioning my classical music albums! Sure let's re-arrange the order of music in a Symphony.

I was about to download the new app to explore the updated UI for USB attached files. Not now. Going to wait to hear this is fixed. (And yes, to the discussion above, for a music app, this core functionality is WAY more important than silly wallpaper.)

I've just tried the Android app and they seem to be sorting by filename (alphabetical not natural), which I assume is by design, so I guess you're using the iOS app?
 
With 3.0.4 on my Android 15 phone and Ultra, Vtuner just gives me the icon like searching, then goes black, tried rebooting and no go. Tidal connect works fine.

Maybe there is a better service to use? Vtuner always seemed to work well. Mainly Naim and Linn stations.
 
I updated the app on my phone (android 15) and now whenever I'm trying to stream from my phone to my Amp, the app quits when I try to choose / tap anything in local files. I've force quick, camera cache, and emptied storage, but nothing fixes it.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?
 
Does anyone have any idea what bug fix number 1 means? It was working before and looks exactly the same in the app now.

I believe it relates to being able to have the volume lights stay on or have them go off a little while after adjusting the volume.
I deliberately said bug fix number 1 to avoid confusion. Clearly I failed 🤣. Bug fix No1 is the EQ fix 😃

Clearly it's me who failed, and it's not even that late here yet!
Still, useful info for everyone else who might have wondered what the other number 1 meant :)
 
Regarding the other no 1, I think that the volume lights stay on for too long. 🙂
