Strangely, after some instability and reboots I think it started working again. It was late and I will retest it later :S

Just to update that it has to do with WiiM Home Android version. Will be addressed in next version. In iOS APP works fine.

Also, I wonder what it’ll mean for the excellent BBC Sounds plugin on LMS, even though that uses the official BBC Sounds API although perhaps not officially if you follow me…

I’ll see if I can find any comment on the Lyrion forums

There seems to be some optimism in the Lyrion forum bbc sounds plugin thread that international access to live bbc streams may after all not be impacted, just the features in, and use of, the bbc sounds app.

Nice! I suppose this'll fix the fact that my cd player over optical was shown as 24 bit
