WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.703434 - Jan 3, 2025

[harkpabst]

Sorry, it seems that was just my faulty reading.
The progress bar starts and ends coherently with the duration of the piece therefore no bug, it's just a choice of the devs.

That's even better then.

Still works fine for me on 5.2.703434 / 20250103
For both my nas and tidal, when CC via bubbleupnp.

Does it work if you cast from other apps, such as BBC Sounds or Global Player? Isn’t bubbleupnp a special case?

I find CC is super slow to start, especially on the SiriusXM app. It seems to hang, and if I change the channel and back again it kicks in. It really is temperamental

Don't know if it's a special case, but I'm pretty sure others posted that they couldn't get 192 via bubble either.
I'll have to find something else that can CC at 192 to try!
I know I was asked to try Qobuz to see if I get 96khz, but that'd probably mean signing up again as I used to have it.
Sometimes Tidal shows me CC instead of / as well as connect, so I'll see if that happens too.

Hi
I just tried streaming from Qobuz with CC via Bubble of a 24/192 album. The 1st track starts immediately and Bubble returns 24/192, but I think Bubble is precisely a special case.
Even with the old CC, using it directly from Qobuz, I had 24/96 ( now CD quality ) and using it from Bubble I had 24/192

Are you sure bubble is using Chromecast and not DLNA ?

Do you also have the latest app? And more than one WiiM?

 

[Mr Ee]

More than one wiim, or more than one ultra?
Ultra only atm??

 

[jam1]

got the latest app and one ultra and one mini

 

[Burnside]

More than one wiim, or more than one ultra?
Ultra only atm??

True…

Edit: can’t recall from the beta if the option for groups only appeared when there was more than one grouping candidate whose firmware also supported persistent groups, and it’s a while since I only had one WiiM

Absolutely And with Bubble is also gapless

I'm only going off what I think @Wiimer wrote recently, words to the same effect - need multiple devices all capable of being in a persistent group. And right now, that's just ultras.

Please check the update of the WiiM app.
V3.0.9 shows this.

 

[Mr Ee]

V3.0.9 shows this.

Is this iOS only atm?

 

[jam1]

Its athe android version

 

[Wiimer]

Is this iOS only atm?

I only have Android.

 

[Mr Ee]

I only have Android.

Ditto, but my android 3.0.9 app doesn't have this group option at the top of the devices screen either.
Maybe we need to do something somewhere else first, such as buy two ultras
Is it possibly a hang over from you having the beta for these groups?

Yeah, it's odd.

Does deleting the app cache change anything?

In my case it shows this because the kitchen group I created in the beta version is still there.
