Bug Fixes:

1. Room Correction (Android) – Calibration files now apply properly

Was there an issue? I didn't notice anything apart from the 12dB limit.

 

[WiiM Support]

Was there an issue? I didn't notice anything apart from the 12dB limit.

The issue occurs in very rare cases where the calibration file isn’t properly read or applied.

Just curious: what is this update about? “USB/NAS Playback – Increased track limit to 2,000.”. My NAS library is much larger than 2000 tracks but I never experienced any issues?

Is it me or is black VU meter the only one that is possible to use as the others are so bright ..

Playback queue? It used to be limited to 500.

Have to agree, I tried all of them but black is the only that is properly visible from any kind of distance

A contrast option would be good

A contrast option would be good

Think the black is the best option anyway.

I think the only thing that would look better is something like this....

My Topping has this

Thanks, I was not aware of such limit.

Yes I’ve asked numerous times for spectrum analyzer instead of VU.

Hi @WiiM Team,
Couldn’t it be possible to have a now playing widget on the lockscreen to control our Wiim device’s playback ?

This has been requested several times for both Android and iOS but ignored by @WiiM Team. So don't think that is a priority for WiiM.

Such a basic feature that allows quick and seamless control should be a priority though…

In the Ultra roadmap under things they’re working on, the first entry is “Support App Widgets on iOS and Android”

I don’t know if using the regular playback control API in iOS can be used to control media played on another device, it would be the best solution.
But the live activities API could also do the job as developers can put anything in it as long as they respect iOS’s design guidelines.

Has been on the roadmap for a long time and it's really not what is needed. Both iOS and Android has APIs that allows an application to be integrated into the media control of the OS. Applications like Spotify and Tidal are already using this.

To my request (#511843 Android Media Control) 6 months ago I got the answer:

"Regarding the background volume control function, we have added your request to our feature list. If we have the opportunity to implement this feature in the future, we will certainly consider it."

And to a question about the status 3 month ago I got:

"We are still working on the functionality within the WiiM Home app to allow the phone’s volume button to control the device volume in the background."

Requested numerous times... Let's say we both do another feature request through the app
