Four days plus, since this Release... And not available to any of my 3x ProPlus units...
I'd really wanted to (re-)explore the DSD Audio possibilities this Long Weekend...

I was already starting to worry that there was apparently something wrong with mine... but there was simply no update.

This version appears as a beta firmware option for my Pro Plus, described as "Beta Test: Optical-in Channel Swap Fix"...

@WiiM Support , @WiiM Team - is this a beta or public release?

FYI following your post, wanted to DL the new, listed Beta , nothing happened -- yet next I received 'new upgrade available' window, all installed well and xxx458 is now running fine as regular new firmware (not beta)
all is well

Yeah, I only just checked the “beta” contents and it’s the same changes as listed in the opening post - looks like it’s perhaps mistakenly been tagged as beta

My Pro Plus states xxx458(beta). I switched back to standard firmware.

Strangely, this is the first time a gazetted firmware update has not come through for me. It's been quite a few days now, so I'm guessing something has gone wrong. I'm not too concerned as everything I use and need is working perfectly, oh, except for the lock screen controls which disappeared with the WHA 3.2.2 update. But again, no big deal for me.

Yes, it seems so. @WiiM Support @WiiM Team can you please clarify if this is a general firmware release or for Beta only?

 

[Erebus]

@WiiM Support @WiiM Team as above, should I have received this update for my Pro Plus, or is this version only for Beta testers?

 

[Erebus]

More than a week after its release, I'm still unable to download this update. Given there has been total radio silence from WiiM in this thread, I have raised a ticket in case it's an issue with my WiiM Pro Plus. As I mentioned above, this is the first time since owning my Pro Plus that I've not been able to install an update. I hope it hasn't developed a fault.

Any input from @WiiM Support or @WiiM Team to clarify in the meantime would be greatly appreciated please.

I don't think it's your Pro Plus. I have two of them and haven't seen an update either, and no one on this thread has reported seeing it outside of Beta.

 

[Erebus]

I don't think it's your Pro Plus

Thanks for that. I have noticed that @WiiM Support @WiiM Team have cut back on their input at the Forum, but their opening post invites us to reach out if we have any issues, but strangely they have been ignoring this thread completely it seems. Same for my ticket - no response. I guess we can write this update off as a non event. Hopefully the next one will work.

Have you tried downloading the version in the Beta Testing section? I did that a few days ago without any issues.

If that is directed at me, then no. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to things like this. I'm happy to wait for a general release. It's just a shame @WiiM Team have been unable to clarify if this version is a general or beta release.

Hi Erebus, Team

This firmware release is taking a bit longer than usual as we're reviewing additional feedback to ensure a smooth and issue-free experience. We truly appreciate your patience and continued support—thank you for bearing with us!
