WiiM Pro is now Roon Ready

[Brantome]

Hello,

I've made the activation request, but still nothing has been activated? How long does it take? Thank you in advance.

Mcvince

Have you got it yet? Hopefully the “official” release is still only days away

Salut, pour ceux qui souhaitent essayer Roon avant la date de sortie officielle, nous pouvons ajouter votre appareil à la liste blanche pour recevoir le firmware. Remplissez simplement ce formulaire . Nous savons que beaucoup attendaient cela depuis un moment, nous voulions donc vous donner un accès anticipé.

Je pense que je comprends, pas vous ?

What don't you understand? WiiM are offering early acess to the firmware that supports Roon Ready if you complete the linked form.

 

[mcvince79]

I understand everything. I filled in the form for early access on 20 June and still nothing has been activated!

 

[Achim1811]

Waiting also, but for me no hurry. But I read nothing about people that got it already.

 

[dagmorten]

Got it. Firmware 4.8.521335. Roon Ready working great

 

[Stessull]

Got it on both my Pro's..... life is good.

Works for me too. Thanks to all are involved in this lengthy process of authorising with Roon. I remeber how long it took for my KEF LS50 WII to become roon-ready, it was even longer then for WiiM Pro! Would be nice to have the Audio Quality for roon content also shown in the WiiM App, there are always whishes to get more, aren't there? Thanks again, love my WiiM Pro even more now.

If you're using Roon, surely that's your prime interface?

A watched WiiM never updates

For me it shows as roon ready, but doesn't work

 

[twolfson]

Also received and working well here.

 

[Willx]

I didn’t register for early access but it is good to hear that everything is working. I look forward to getting it in the next couple of days.

Try a reboot of the Pro and your router perhaps? Is your Roon software also up to date?

rebooting solved my issue, works great!

I'm not always in Roon, and as WiiM Pro show's nicely what's playing from Roon why not at the same time tell what Bitrate etc. Sure, it's not a "must" but at least a nice to have (which works from other services (Qobuz) too, so i guess it might not be to hard to implement.

Nice, testing with Qobuz, and self-hosted files up to 192khz, 24bit works as expected-- now I'm happy with my Wiim, long time coming but a worthy effort!

Of note, I'm using Roon Essentials (basically a lite version on Roon that runs on Elac discovery and included life-time license of Roon, and although its running an outdated version of Roon server, it still supports Roon Ready devices (such as the Wiim). In case there are others our there using Roon Essentials vs full roon.

did you request whitelist, try rebooting your Wiim, that did if for me
