WiiM Ultra Firmware v5.2.711448 - Mar 22, 2025

[Burnside]

Good afternoon friends of the WiiM forum. My question is the following and I don't know if it happens to other members of the WiiM forum, but when I send audio either from my iPhone or Mac Apple Watch via Bluetooth, the song cover is not showing. Only the Bluetooth logo on the screen of my WiiM Ultra. The same thing happens in the new Apple TV app WiiM Home TV. What should I do to get the cover to show on the screen of my Ultra device? Thank you for any help you give me!

I don’t think a Bluetooth stream supports artwork, no?

Correct for me. It shows track name and artist. No progress bar no artwork. On the Ultra screen it only shows track name.

Admittedly, I never use Bluetooth for streaming to any of my WiiMs, but why do you?

If you have music stored e.g. locally on your iPhone you should be able to stream it via Wi-Fi directly, using the WiiM Home app (Browse tab > My Library > My Music).

If you are using global player (radio) and you rewind a live radio station, you lose the ability to chromecast on android. This is my use case.

Alright, the cd player (connected over optical) is now correctly displayed as 16 bit/44.1 khz.

If only the Ultra would show the custom names of the analog and digital inputs, would be nice.
