If you want to receive regular firmware updates, you will have to come off the beta version first.

I'll ask it once again: please consider adding a playback screen option with large artwork and black sides/background!

I have once again submitted feedback/sent a feature request for this as well.

One error from the past is back: not showing all new covers on the USB drive after the scan. Come on ...

I am running this also! Even in the previous update, I seemed to start having problems getting full albums to play through. They often stop after the first song and sometimes they make it a little further.

I'm supposing you are playing from your local storage.
Power cycle the Ultra, and delete the cache of the Wiim Home App if you are on Android, or remove and reinstall it if you use IOs.
Usually it clears the problem.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply!

I should have said... I'm using Tidal.
It seems the unwillingness to play full albums applies to both voice commands given to Alexa and while pushing the microphone button on the remote. On a possibly related note... I think I've only noticed a gapless playback on one occasion when there are several albums that would have greatly benefited from it.

Edit:
I did try the clear cache method that you suggested to no good effect. Thank you.

 

[Saponetto]

Better understood now, and sorry to read you did not solve the problem.
I use Tidal also, and its working logic seems to be "jump on next if the network doesn't get you promptly the full audio file".
Sometimes it happens when the latency on the network is exceeding a given value.
In order to reduce it I chose to make the Ultra and the Pro+ work only on 5GHz band, and this trick greatly helped to minimize this problem.

**Mods, sorry for the OT**

I followed your suggestion and have followed up with restarts and software updates for all devices involved. This forced me to get a yamaka, a prayer rug, rosary beads and dancing snakes (I do my software updates religiously).
Unfortunately, there's been no noticeable improvement.
Thanks so much for your informed and prompt response and I want to offer you a song!
It is called " Choctaw Bingo" by James McMurtry. I hope you enjoy the song and "have you a time. ".

Do you have this Beta? Give it a whirl. Not specifically mentioned, but helps with Tidal when played from within the wiim app too.

That's a great suggestion as I just got it in a private message also!
I hope this is the beta version with the graphic equalizer looking visualization. I need that.
Thank you sir!

 

[Mr Ee]

I hope this is the beta version with the graphic equalizer looking visualization. I need that.

I doubt that, but just to see if it resolves you queueing issues.
Hoping it gets into the main releases soon as it's a vast improvement.

 

[jdavis417]

Yes! That beta version seems to have solved the queuing issue, so far... Album art is sometimes missing and my presets or temporarily ignored from the remote buttons but all in all it solved original issue. Thank you very much!

It takes a team to make the Wiim dream?
