We're thrilled to announce that the WiiM Home TV app is now available for Fire TV! You can seeing what's playing on WiiM devices on big screens using an Amazon Fire TV. The WiiM Home TV app has basic playback controls and browsing, though it's not a full replacement for a mobile device.

Hi @F1 Fan ,

It looks like a hardware incompatibility is preventing you from downloading the WiiM Home TV app. We’ll be releasing a new version this week with reduced external hardware requirements—stay tuned!
Any news on this? Still isn't allowing me to install on my TCL Fire TV
 
At the moment, yes, it may not work on ethernet. Mentioned in a few posts on this thread.
A new version should be along soon-ish.
It was reported on the android thread that using wifi when starting the app to choose your device then switching back to ethernet works.
Now have wiim tv app version 1.2 and everything working as it should on my ethernet connected sony tv. All my wiim devices are now showing up and very quickly too. Thank you wiim

You already said that ;)

On my Sony Bravia TV it's not working (also already said that).
 
Really sorry for the repost. I checked the thread just now and my comments were there ready to be posted. Thought I had forgotten to actually post my comments yesterday.
 
That was aimed at the WiiM support guys, as they've not mentioned anything since their original post...
Best way of getting a direct answer from WiiM is via the more/feedback section in the app - while WiiM will occasionally turn up here, this is primarily a user discussion and support forum.

Thanks for the tip 👍
 
I think the app (ver 1.2) is a useful and good addition, it works wonderfully with my sticks and a Cube. I only have one big wish: It would be nice to get an update that allows us to select the following screen as permanent view.

I would also like to be able to do this.

There must be a reason why they just didn’t stick with that screen rather than reverting to the pared back version. As I’ve said previously, maybe it’s to cut down polling the stream for progress to display the time bar, but I guess there might be ways to optimise that
 
Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread for this.

I just used the Prime "days" to pick up a new, cheap Fire TV stick for the sole purpose of using a spare display to give me a nice now playing screen while I work.

However I've hit a flaw, (ticket raised, fingers crossed) in that I almost exclusively use Airplay 2 as it allows me to manage play counts & listening habits via smart playlist in Itunes both at home & continued in the car.

However, whilst the track title and album names update as they should, unless the track playing doesn't have any album art, it just displays the very first album image it pulled from my phone. A restart had no effect, an overnight power off also had no effect, still the same image persists.

Swap to any other stream and it works perfectly. Swap back to Airplay and I'm back to the very same image.

To be honest I'm not particularly hopeful of feedback on my ticket, it feels like since the later models (I'm running the original Amp) dropped Airplay, it's become less important on the radar, even for fixes.

I suppose what I'm asking here is, has anyone else using the Fire TV App had the same experience?
 
Not seeing this on my fire tv 4k max airplaying from my iPad Apple Music app to my WiiM mini. Hopefully WiiM will react to your ticket as while their newer models don’t support airplay, the WiiM Home TV app is new and I’m confident they’d want it to work with a large part of their estate who do have airplay capable WiiM devices.
