Hey all, really appreciate everyone sharing details here. This is super helpful.
What you’re describing can sometimes happen when the control device (Spotify app) and the playback device (your WiiM) briefly fall out of sync and then resettle. Since Spotify Connect relies on real-time communication between devices, even small timing hiccups like momentary network latency or device handoffs can occasionally lead to behavior like a track advancing or restarting while everything syncs back up.
The pattern a few of you mentioned, happening after a short idle period and then behaving normally again for a bit, is especially interesting and gives us something concrete to look at.
If you’re able, a few things that can help narrow it down:
- Trying both Wi-Fi and Ethernet if available
- Checking if the behavior is consistent across different control devices like phone vs laptop
- Noting whether it happens on specific playlists or albums, or more generally
Also, if you run into this again, sending feedback through the WiiM Home app is really helpful. That gives the team visibility into what you’re seeing along with device logs, which makes it much easier to track down what’s going on.
No need to go too deep into troubleshooting unless you want to. Even small observations help build a clearer picture.
We’ll keep an eye on this together and see what patterns emerge. Appreciate you all flagging it and comparing notes. That’s exactly how we get to the bottom of these weird behaviors.
