No HDMI CEC fix?

Nice set of new features!

But please, can you do something about the styling of the main menu screen? Or just give us the option for different themes (as was promised very early on)

Also requested a dozen times: a solid black background for the playback-screen with full screen album art.

No HDMI CEC fix?

Something has changed but not for the better.

With this settings the WiiM don't turn on from standby anymore, when TV is turned on.



With "Automatically output audio to WiiM when TV is on" disabled, the WiiM is however no longer turning on. This is correct and the opposite behaviour of before.

Selecting TV as input or changing to ARC on the TV do also correctly turn the WiiM on on TV.

It is however not possible to change the TV back to internal speakers by selecting another input on the WiiM. That should be possible with the "Automatically output audio to WiiM when TV is on" disabled but not when enabled.

So some changes but still not fully fixed.

is there any reason why I don’t have an update ?

It's a staggered update. The best looking get it first.
