WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.705437 - Jan 23, 2025

[harkpabst]

A few years ago, I had the same problem...:
In Unix-like operating systems, any file or folder that starts with a dot character (for example, /home/user/.config), commonly called a dot file or dotfile, is to be treated as hidden – that is, the ls command does not display them unless the -a or -A flags (ls -a or ls -A) are used.[5] In most command-line shells, wildcards will not match files whose names start with . unless the wildcard itself starts with an explicit . .

Are you trying to revive the old "tags vs. filenames and folders" discussion again?

In this case tags win flat out.

 

[Zap Rekowski]

Yes Tags are better, no objection
The tags were set correctly. However, I had also created the Metallica album with the folder name “...and Justice for All” in my structure. In Windows (Musicbee, Foobar, etc.) it worked perfectly and was available. On some Android system (4?) the album could not be found in some program (Poweramp...or which one was it? Don't remember it exactly).

It’s strange that the track … and justice for all is displayed fine though

It actually starts with “02” for me

Not in my case

But my friend, surely these are tags and not file names.

Probably but as I only use the WHA and don’t mess around with file/folder names I find it odd a folder cannot be see but a file can
All my structures are created by easy cd creator not the most powerful one or the most feature rich but it works

 

[Zap Rekowski]

I think if you look at the file name, it also starts with something else, maybe also with a 2. In any case, tags have no problem with dots.

Oh my shame, this reminds me of my time as a CD burner, with WinOnCD...sometime in the 90s Mitsumi 4-speed drive which only knew TAO (2 second pause between tracks).
But the program has certainly evolved (?). As you wrote, the main thing is that it works (but there are actually better tools, also from the open source area).

With reference to the headline, I think we've gotten slightly off topic by now...

Hi, there’s still a problem with gapless playback on my Ultra e.g Meat Loaf, Lady Gaga and Pet Shop Boys.

Welcome.

I think we're going to need some more details. What are you playing? How are you playing it?

Hello. Would be great if you could add a function to measure the room acoustics after custom EQ, that would help us assess if we are making correct adjustments. Thanks.

There already is an assessment (an additional measurement) right at the end of the RC process.

What's missing is the ability to run this measurement independently. But this has already been asked for and WiiM reacted in a somewhat positive way.

Burying your request deep into one of many new firmware posts is not going to promote it further.

Oh thanks) yes I meant an independent measurement.. the algorithm of Wiim Auto RC sometimes seems a bit odd, so I would like to do custom adjustments and be able to measure the results…)

They will have forgotten about it by now .

Create a ticket to WiiM via the feedback in WHA. That will hopefully raise the attention.

I think you're right, buy only to the tiniest extent.

Out of 27,000+ tracks, and around 3,000 folders, the issue affects just one folder, containing just 15 tracks. That 0.03.% of folders, and 0.05% of tracks.

A 'problem' I've 'fixed' by deleting "..." at the start of the album name.

The dictionary definition of a non-issue.

I made a ticket so that they remeber the question I re-posted exactly a month ago on which the reaction was "positive".
Hopefully we see the feature in the near future!

The version number of the parallel firmware whitelisted for the old Googlecast 1.56 is 5.2.705442.
