Isn't this the improvement you were claiming?

WiiM Sound: Wallpaper uploads + new VU-meter playback screens

Does this (VU) require new Sound firmware too?
The wallpaper / own picture uploads works now.
But no cat! (You had to be there...)

I'm not sure, it could be.
Hopefully it will be the fix for artist and album title truncation when using a tablet in landscape mode.

…which seems to do the same as the Browse button that’s already on the same screen. Guess it saves you selecting the device then hitting the Browse button.

What would be useful would be a similar shortcut on the check firmware page that takes you to a device’s settings page rather than having to climb back thru several pages.

1. Plex: Updated to new API for better search; supports Plex Server access over WAN

This appears to now produce the same search results as the Plex web UI, which is a great improvement! Yay.

I thought it was an update to resolve that issue.

Yeah,
Is it displayed on all device cards? Strangely enough, on my WHA, it only appears on the A10 and W Sound cards.

Looks fixed for me

Agree

On all my devices if their input is set to WiFi - it didn’t appear when my Amp Ultra’s input was set to optical.

My Ultra is on Ethernet. The icon is there.

Yes, I have just posted a couple of long titled albums on the now playing thread, and it seems to have been fixed.

In this context, WiFi/ethernet are much the same - there have been discussions in the past whether there should be a better catch-all term for network-related input…

It appears the icon only displays when the Wi-Fi status shows 'No Music Selected'.

Btw,
The touch area of the gear icon and mute button has been slightly expanded. Hooray!

Yes, that is the same with all of my devices.

Yep! E.g. when switching from a physical input to the network input without selecting any particular service.

It strikes me as a bit odd. Would it not be advisable to display it even when inputting other than Wi-Fi?
(E.g., after listening to a CD via the optical input, you navigate to the browse screen and listen to the radio using TuneIn.)
