We were just sorting our Halloween Candy when the last Update came through. Now, our fridges are filled with Thanksgiving Leftovers...
Surely our powerful @WiiM Team can try to keep up with the Holidays!!

You can delete posts

You can delete posts

For some reason, neither delete nor edit were an option on the post I said to ignore. They show up on the ignore request, which is odd….

I think that there may be a time limit for editing or deleting posts, but if anyone wants one of their own posts deleting, all they have to do is report the post and request its deletion.

You must be right. I no longer have the option to delete my earlier post. It would actually make sense if the ability to delete posts was removed after another post had quoted them. It can get very confusing when that happens

Still wonder when the update will come, that supports L/R PEQ…

It first appeared on amp followed by ultra. The rest of the line would probably before the year end.

Yeah, I guess we discussed about this already 2 weeks ago…

It appears we will be learning to write "2025" on our Checks before we see a Catch-Up Update for the Pro/Pro+...

@RyanWithWiim Any news on this?

 

[Smartplug]

The older product are getting behind on update with more than a month since last update. The ultra is the most up to date than any other devices on their line.

 

[s3igell]

The ultra is the most up to date than any other devices on their line.

This isn't too surprising, as this is where most of the new Dev Effort is focused. And those products need to be Released in order to gather widespread feedback/field debugging.

The older product are getting behind on update with more than a month since last update.

This is the frustrating part, as we know about all the common features that could be released to Pro and Pro+ (and even Mini) with so minimal additional effort.

in the future if there’s new device that will come out that’s higher than ultra that may get the most priority. Ultra might join the rest of older product like the pro that will take long time to get update. I remember when there was just a mini and pro the pro get frequent update but not anymore. It look like the older product are just legacy.

 

[Hazenhart]

I have to add my voice to the question:
When will we see Pro+ updates?
There are several WiiM Home App updates that have come through, yet they "require an upcoming firmware update" to be realized and that update is a long time coming.
Any news, @RyanWithWiim ?

Looks like there's an update planned this week for the Pro Plus and the Amp as well to bring some feature parity. It'll probably be the end of the week and might roll out next week depending on timing. Is there a specific feature you're interested in? I can ask about that one in particular.
