Spotify WiiM Pro Plus will only show up as a Chromecast Device in Spotify for Android

[Burnside]

Just had a similar issue here for the first time (2 years of use). The Spotify Android app only showed my WiiM pro plus being available using Chromecast. The solution for me was to enable Chromecast on the WiiM home app (it was previously disabled), then go back onto the same tab and disable ,"send device usage " (this probably did nothing) and "allow google cast service". This then restored the direct Wiim ProPlus AD36 option in Spotify.

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing that info

It was a 15 minute fix for me so it hasn't made me think about buying any vinyl yet

This is still an issue on Android devices! When enabling the built-in Chromecast on my Ultra, in the Spotify "device" menu, it only shows up as a Google Cast target. There's no option to select Spotify Connect instead. This used to be possible up until around September - October.

Seems like NAD have somehow implemented a fix, by letting the same device show up 2 times in the device list - a compromise I could live with:
