and some beauty tips.

I suggest you start with this first

After switching from the dolby beta to this final release, the 5.1 icon disappeared and I'm no longer able to play multichannel - now the rears are getting the same signal as the fronts only...

Still not all local BBC Radio stations available, e.g. Lincolnshire

Also still the draconian limit of 502 tracks

Hi IM35461,

BBC Radio Lincolnshire is now available in our BBC Radio selection—please enjoy! We will also be adding other local BBC Radio stations soon, giving you even more listening options. Additionally, we've noted the issue regarding the maximum track limit in the playback queue and will discuss it with our engineers to find a resolution.

@WiiM Support Why are we doing beta testing?

None of my observations from the test of "Recently Played" has been fixed in the released version.

Was reported in:
"#523975 Recently Played Ultra Beta test"

My initial test of the WiiM Ultra display "Recently" option in Beta test. It generally works. There are however some minor issues. There is no sync with the "Recently Played" in the WHA. Probably because it is local for each device? But it feels strange. The Ultra list includes playing from "Preset" selections, the WHA don't. And there is no need to. It's in the "Preset" screen anyway. The pictures from "Preset" selections are however not included into the list on the Ultra. Only from other selections. The new option is correctly available from the "Home" screen but why does that screen have a completely different look and feel than the other screens? Finally I would like to have a longer timeout before the "Recently" screen returns to the default screen.

The WiiM Ultra display do still not show the album title playing.

Is nobody missing it?

This was the @WiiM Support answer 5 months ago:

"Following up on the previous email.

We expect the next firmware update for WiiM devices to include a fix for the issue you’re currently experiencing.

We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding.

Best Regards,
WiiM Support"

Still no option for USB hard disk archived multiple indexing for compilation albums. Please make the Album view for compilation be a single item instead of multiple instances for each single Song. Please correct this.

Again, the list of new features is nice and all, but is it just me or is the Android app really running behind? I'm still missing the option to change the VU meter look, which was part of the previous Feb 22 update for the Ultra.

It's good to know that BBC Radio Lincolnshire has received the requisite level attention at WiiM Towers.

Those documentaries about The Fens really couldn't have waited too much longer without causing a significant degree of unrest.

Works for me since I-din't-know-when ...

Also good to know that Radio Predication is still available and Radio Gloucestershire is a national station

What happens to international BBC listeners when the BBC removes access to music stations in the near future?

What do you mean?

Good question. I suspect they might disappear for non uk users

WiiM only seem to have the 96kbps international streams anyway even in the UK so will they all disappear for everyone?
