Wiim Mini - songs stop playing randomly within first ~3 minutes of play after latest app+firmware updates

[GlitchyMcGlitchFace]

HI, I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but since the most recent app + firmware updates (Wii Mini App v2.5.5.2308418 ; firmware 4.6.524356) I am experiencing spontaneous and random music stoppage when playing music from phone, via a playlist, to the Wiim Mini over wi-fi. I cannot play more than 2-3 minutes of music without experiencing this issue. When I check my app, the Wiim app has lost my music selection and shows "no music selected". This is incredibly frustrating, as one might imagine; the device is currently unusable.

Prior to this, I've been using my Wiim Mini without any issues since November.

I have rebooted all the devices multiple times, etc.

The Wi-fi router is in the same room as the Wiim Mini and has line of sight signal strength.

Wiim Mini, using wi-fi (full strength signal), Wii Mini App v2.5.5.2308418 ; firmware 4.6.524356 ; iOS 16.6

Any ideas, or anyone else with this issue? TIA for any help!

No PEQ? Thought that was being rolled out to the Mini this weekend…

I don’t see it also in the app

Also no selectable DAC filters in the app for the Plus yet.

App is ready for PEQ, only FW support is needed.

Personally I don’t care about this feature and I don’t mind being rolled only to pro models .

There is no PEQ on this farm yet.

It’s not being rolled out /only/ to Pro models - I already have the PEQ beta software for the mini.

WiiM said only yesterday that the public release of PEQ had started being rolled out to Minis this weekend.

Plans had changed obviously.

Did notice someone reporting just a day or so ago that the Q value of one of their PEQ filters had gone awry, showing 3000 iirc in the app. Maybe they’re making a last minute bug fix before release.

 

[onlyoneme]

Yeah, I forgot about it. Although it looked to me like an app issue rather than the FW.

Started happening to my Wiim pro today as well after a firmware update. Stops playing on apple music and radio stations from the wiim app. I'm on a different firmware, 4.8.526344, also on a iphone. The only other connection I have is my TV via optical. Just submitted a ticket.

Me too on the WiiM Pro Plus after last firmware update.

Make sure you submit a ticket so WiiM can identify and resolve the issue …

Hi Team,

We've identified a compatibility issue with PEQ when the Graphics EQ was previously used. This bug has been fixed, but as a result, PEQ won't be active in the latest firmware update for the WiiM Mini. Expect the feature to be rolled out in a week's time.

For users of the WiiM Pro and Pro Plus, the new OTA update already includes the enabled PEQ feature.

Sometimes playback freezes when playing music in a playlist, tracks start switching by themselves until playback starts from one of them.

Try rebooting your router and WiiM device, and if using Tidal Connect, clear the Tidal app cache and reboot your phone

Thanks for the answer.
Although this thread is of a different problem, sorry for the offtopic. What about the clicks when it switches to a different bitrate. With the subwoofer it's a double chest punch every time Forced to only use 16/44.1 in the app.

Have you submitted a ticket detailing the DAC you use etc so WiiM can investigate? Have you tried using the fade-in setting under your WiiM's audio settings to see if that helps?

I haven't sent the ticket yet. There is this thread here: https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/popping-clicking-when-switching-tracks.181/page-10

Yes, fade-in is enabled but it doesn't help. Only using 16/44.1 helps.

Hi Navdak1,

The issue often hinges on how the DAC processes audio PCM at varying sample rates. Some DACs struggle with clock adjustments when the sample rate changes, unless the DAC output is muted before altering the clock. When you set it to 16/44.1k, the sample rate remains constant, eliminating the clicking sound.

What's DAC brand and model?
