@Maurizio,

Here's an update for you

I got the update and I have app 3.1.4 (android) and I don't see any new VU meter....

Actually the firmware I got is 708632 (so even newer)

Please try rebooting Ultra and deleting the app cache. I haven't received either yet so can't confirm.

 

[Wiimer]

I noticed that there are several beta firmware updates to Ultra.

I tried both, no difference

Silly question, but is the WiiM app really 3.1.4?
The team says it's coming in a few days.

I recceived the update, but can't find any way to move the presets... where is it?

Do you also have the WiiM app updated to to v3.1.4?

 

[Vignus]

Do you also have the WiiM app updated to to v3.1.4?

I do, but I see that firmware is 5.2.705, so maybe that's it...

 

[Burnside]

Mine updated to this latest version this morning, I then tried the RP beta and went back to the public firmware and it offered me an upgrade (?) to v5.2.705437 which I thought I declined, but it “updated” nonetheless to that older version. I’ll maybe give it a day or so and see if it offers an upgrade back to the latest version, or I’ll drop WiiM a line…

 

[Ronnie D]

I do, but I see that firmware is 5.2.705, so maybe that's it...

The firmware you have is from January 5,2,705437 I think?

It's now possible to move and rename Preset entries. Funny thing is that all my Presets were renamed automatically with a timestamp appended after the original name, after the update.

In the edit page. Where you before could remove an entry, it can now also be moved.

You can rename and move a Preset now (see release notes) but you still cannot change the picture and the picture set for a radio station is still the actually playing track and not the station logo.

I think you meant to quote somebody else.

hoping that it won't be long before the other Wiims are concerned about them too... """not just the ultra in life"""
;-)

an explanation point on the development of each beta project?
