How is this rolled out? My Pro Plus can't find any update yet.

You can’t force update. Just wait till your device turn.

 

[Kjetil-A]

Shoot, I was hoping to get the update today as I am in need of this (Per-Channel EQ) feature ASAP

There’s an update on my ultra but its not my device turn. Maybe it would come in a day or two. You will see green arrow or just update itself. Happy listening!

Am I the only one that thinks It is odd to have a Check for Updates function in the WiiM app that does not download and update one's WiiM when an update has been released?

That's what I'm used to with smartphone firmware ... Android Auto ... pretty much everything receiving OTA updates.

Nope.
I once joked that the code behind it was 'Sleep 1; Print Your device is up to date'.
But I have had it work once or twice! Maybe I was just lucky with the timing.
Your turn will come...

Well, this AM, I got the Update Rocket popup for v4.8.623 (7/17/24) in the WiiM Home App - for one of my Pro+ that was already updated over two weeks ago. (So, you're going to need to add a "rnd(0);" to your proto-code...)

 

[ArthurStereo]

The update was on August 8th and I still haven't received it. Wiim Home doesn't find it. I don't understand why this is happening.

I didn’t get it either… Just wait a little longer…

   Does this involves RC as well?
   If not, how should it be applied?
   Any official view (from WiiM) on this?

As far as I know automatic RC doesn't use per-channel PEQ on any other WiiM device, yet. I'd be surprised if the WiiM Pro Plus was the first to get it ... but let's see and wait.

 

[Burnside]

Last I heard they were still working on per-channel EQ for RC

Well then I wonder how you would sensibly apply it?

 

[Burnside]

Well then I wonder how you would sensibly apply it?

By measuring in an external app and manually entering the values perhaps ? Or, if you can, run it for both channels then manually tweak each?

 

[harkpabst]

Yep. Automatic RC using per-channel will need a modified measuring process, naturally. Each channel must be measured individually.

Yes but it needs also an intelligent algorithm to combine the two!

I don‘t understand the 2. sentence.
Measuring one by one channel is one thing, but the combination of the two, including the combined mods of the room/sidewalls/furniture is a completly different story.

 

[Kjetil-A]

I guess you would need to measure each channel, and the combined (in REW etc.), adjust each channel, then do a new combined measurement to see the effect of you adjustments. And then keep tweaking until you get your wanted result.
