I see "Precision RC" has been removed from the app

I wonder why did they remove this feature?

 

[harkpabst]

I wonder why did they remove this feature?

Probably because it didn't yield the expected results so far.

It might come back later or just not. Support for the moving microphone method seems a lot more useful to me.

Thank you for improving the Minimserver integration. After breaking Plex, this is finally some good news again.

How does it make Minimserver better? Currently using Asset and wondering if I should go back to Minimserver. Can you elaborate?

 

[slartibartfast]

It's a start.

Unfortunately I cannot comment on the results yet because I just did a quick smoke test with the mic built into my Poco X6 Pro (one of those phones where the mic is intentionally crippled below 60 Hz ).

Well it seems to work with a UMIK-1. Hard to tell what it does since it also does a sweep measurement first. Also strange to be told to rotate my phone 180 degrees and hold it at ear level when using an external mic

@RyanWithWiiM , @WiiM Support , @WiiM Team - any update on the new Amazon API that’s been on the roadmap for a while? And on that subject, any chance of an update to the roadmaps themselves ? Thanks

I haven't heard anything recently, but I'll check in and see. The team is so busy shipping software and building new products they haven't had a chance to update the roadmap docs. I'll give them a gentle reminder.

The UI is a little more modern but it's very limited; only the following indexes are available: Albums, All Artists, Tracks, Playlists, Genre and Folders.

Thanks for the update. I tried the new room correction feature a few times and got a real good result. Bowie' s Ziggy streaming from Tidal right now ... Ken Scott's recording of acoustic guitars here can be a bit ear-piercing but now they sound just fine!

 

[wiimamp user]

Thanks for the excellent updates.

 

[WiiM Team]

Or just look at the Spotify or Tidal apps. They are working correctly when in the background.

The volume control and power drain issues have been known since the previous release and was the major fixes we expected with this update.

@WiiM Team Please concentrate on fixing outstanding issues before continuing with new functions!

As a software engineer I know it's more fun to make new stuff but as a user I would like to see all the issues fixed first.

Hi @hgo58,

You’re correct.

To address the power drain issue, we are working on reducing background tasks when the app is in the background.

 

[WiiM Team]

Can we disable the lock screen widget yet?
Improving isn't the same as fixing. The WiiM Home App is the only one I know of that has an issue with volume and app focus. Adding +/- buttons to the lock screen sounds like a sub standard workaround which shouldn't be necessary. Have a look at the BBC Sounds app for an example of how to do it correctly.

Hi @slartibartfast ,

We will release a new app next week to allow you to disable the lock screen control.

Hi @Burnside ,

We have integrated the content API into our app and will implement the playback logic in the next stage. After that, we will send the app and firmware to the Amazon team for approval before releasing it. The exact release date is still uncertain, but we aim to have a beta version available by next month.

 

[RyanWithWiiM]

Thanks team!

 

[WiiM Team]

Thanks. Still lying in bed . Shame it is only for stereo RC.

The Moving Microphone Measurement (MMM) for Left/Right Room Correction is coming soon. Stay tuned!

Excellent - I'll pass that back to the member on the FB page

And yes, this MMM thing seems to work nice!

After having a second look, I’d say in no way. The presentation looks like when you are using a drive attached to the Ultra via USB. But it requires frequent rescans to make it work again after it for whatever reason stops to work. It also seems to group different releases of an album into one album.

I was too quick to react to the good news in the Changelog. It would be much less frustrating to wait a little longer and then get something that really works than constant updates that either break things or don’t fix something completely.

Maybe it would help to draw inspiration from Roon and not Sonos

I don’t think switching to Minimserver would really improve your life right now.

 

[slartibartfast]

And yes, this MMM thing seems to work nice!

Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what the mmm part of the process actually does.

And of course also the volume control and app focus issues, right?

8. [Android] MMM for Stereo Room Correction (Beta): Support for Moving Microphone Measurement in Stereo Room Correction. Enable this feature in Room Correction settings.

I have tried a few things, but I am still not sure how I can utilise this feature in my room.

This is a personal request, but can you add an option to turn off screen rotation?
I have an external mic connected via a USB cable and it is very annoying when the screen rotates.


Anyway I'll put up the results of today's test...




[RC 1]
Slides 30 cm to the left and right




[RC 2] Spinning around the head




[RC 3]
Cross




[RC 4]
Zigzag




[RC 5]
MMM off (Stereo RC)



What was interesting was the result of the first measurement. The measurement range is 120hz-10khz, but WiiM tried to reinforce the bass by raising the 216hz by 10.9dB with Q0.25.



Only the first one is boosted, even though the other four RCs measured the same low frequencies. If I am not mistaken, I have never seen such a result before. (However, I have two subwoofers connected to other WiiM devices, so this error(?)could have occurred.)


Back on topic,
Naturally, the results will vary greatly depending on how the mic is moved, so I have no idea now how the mic should be moved .

Unfortunately there is no way of knowing what the mmm part of the process actually does.

As far as I can get from a lil' calibrated microphone (a simple IMM-6) , I noticed a filters Q management more relaxed.
This makes me suppose that a value integration is actually done, through a larger number of points achieved during the mic travel.
Of course, what happens under the hood and how the device manages those addictional readings is far from my reach.
