[WiiM Team]

Please review the app update release notes below. If you encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to us.

App Release Version
v3.0.8

The Android app has been released. The iOS app is still under review by the App Store. Stay tuned for updates!

What’s New:

1. Room Correction Enhancements (Beta): Perform multiple measurements for improved calibration accuracy and a more personalized audio experience.
   Note: This feature does not require a beta firmware release. It can be enabled by selecting the Multiple Calibrations option in the Room Correction Settings. In the next app update, Multiple Calibrations will be renamed to Multiple Measurements.
2. USB Media Library Improvements: Organize your library effortlessly by Artist and Year, with a new letter jump list for quicker navigation.
3. Enhanced Playing Animations: Enjoy dynamic playing animations for tracks on Amazon Music, Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, Favorites, and more.
4. Plex & KKBox Upgrades: Better artist artwork, easy access to artist pages, display of album release years, and refined UI/UX for a smoother experience.
5. Queue Enhancements: Add identical tracks to the play queue for continuous playback with ease.
6. User Manual Integration: Access the WiiM Home App user manual directly from the app.
7. Navigation Bar Update: Updated navigation bar buttons to white for a cleaner, more consistent look.

Bug Fixes:

1. [iOS] Samba Fix: Resolved an issue where exceptions occurred due to incorrect shared folder paths.

That’s a big jump from current 3.0.5 to 3.0.8.

I think the album art is higher resolution than before on Amazon music. Is it my imagination? (But I didn't notice any change in the animation...)

That’s a big jump from current 3.0.5 to 3.0.8.

Did you miss 3.0.6 and 3.0.7 then? They were just bug fixes and not announced for some reason. More importantly they have managed to remove any indication of which microphone is used for room correction. Don't they test anything before release?

Hi Smartplug and Slartibartfast,

To reduce confusion, we will announce each app update in the forum. Regarding the indication of which microphone is used for room correction, this is a bug, and we will promptly investigate and resolve it.

Hi Slartibartfast,

We have attempted to reproduce the missing microphone indication issue but were unable to do so. Could you please send us feedback through the WiiM Home app to assist with debugging this issue?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

What is "Enhanced Playing Animations"?
Is it these annoying columns jumping up and down at the track title?

 

[simbun]

@WiiM Support, there's a box set/album artwork regression in Android 3.0.8 when browsing UPnP servers.

The app now displays the artwork of the first track/container in the track listing rather than the artwork from the album listing.



I'll use the WHA to submit additional logging.

The containers (>>1952-1954, >>1954-1957, >>1957-1959) are still incorrectly ordered, but I have an outstanding ticket for that.

Nice new features!
@WiiM Team : Can you please add an option to only run the final check and result display after the room correction calibration?
So without doing the real calibration process?
This way you can manually check after changes are made to the room or system if the calibration is still correct.
Also checking the result after making manual changes with the custom PEQ settings for fine tuning is then possible.

What’s New:

1. Room Correction Enhancements (Beta): Perform multiple measurements for improved calibration accuracy and a more personalized audio experience.

I did a little testing of Room Correction Enhancements (Beta).

In L/R RC, 3 sweep signals are played back at 5 second intervals. However, in stereo RC, only 2 sweeps are played back at 10 second intervals. Is this a bug?

Also, the 3 sweeps are played continuously and cannot be paused. Is this feature not intended for measurements at multiple microphone positions? (i.e., is there no need to move the microphone?)


Edit:
Sorry, I tested again a while later and the sweep played 3 times even in stereo RC. Seems it was a temporary error that happens from time to tim e.

I also would expect to move the microphone between sweeps. Yet again WiiM seem to have misunderstood the requirement.

Hi @WiiM Team and nice to see another update!

I have a question though, is it planned to fix the Chromecast streaming issues that happen since 3.0 to the Emby app?

Before 3.0 everything was working fine and media was recognized by the Wiim App when streamed from Emby over Chromecast to Wiim.
Since 3.0 the Wiim App does not recognize that something is played, even if the music starts running.
Let me know if you need more information, I can provide a debug log over the app.

It's almost imperative to raise a ticket under more/feedback in the WiiM Home app as WiiM can probably learn a lot more from your device logs than they could from a broad description which by all means you should include in the ticket, along with any remedial actions you may have tried

Have you tried moving the microphone between sweeps?
