WiiM Home for desktop

[musig]

Hi all,
is there any way to interact with a WiiM device from the desktop of the most widespread OSes?
On ARM based Macs it is possible to install the iPad version and it works fine, what about the others?

Have a nice day

There is a limited beta desktop version for windows and mac, but a mobile phone or tablet is really needed for the WiiM Home app

Maybe a Windows Android emulator or an Android VM (Virtual Machine) could be used?

The android WiiM app did run briefly under the Windows Subsystem for Android but stopped when MS changed its networking, then deprecated WSA itself.

Well, this is a bit of disappointment. Is there any plan for such application?

Well, it is not just a matter of playing music as I can already do it via Airplay or connecting directly the Mac to the WiiM Amp, it is about controlling the device itself and configuring it. For that you still need to grab the smartphone and do it from there

Oh sure, everybody has one al least but many of us spend most of his day in front of a PC so it would be so nice to have a native app to rely on

If it’s important for you to have Wiim control on your PC you do have the option of installing remote control software on your smartphone and PC and running the Wiim app in a remote control window on your PC.
I’ve tested the Wiim home app running on an Android phone and managed from a Windows PC using AnyViewer in the past.
