Hi skeewiff, Team

Please access content via the USB source if a USB drive is connected directly to this device. If accessing the content from other devices, it will still function as a media server. We made this change to avoid confusion, as having identical content available from two different sources could be misleading.

It was more accesible for me as it was at the top and didnt have to scroll to get to the usb input, please consider allowing a shortcut or a rearrange of the order of the imputs for those of us that use usb input a lot. Thanks in advance.

From a simple usability point of view, in a household with more than one wiim where one of them has a usb plugged in it's far easier to just tell the family to always look in the media server section to play music no matter which wiim/hifi is being used.
Seems to me this change to make the wiim hosting the usb content behave differently is what's misleading / unintuitive.
Sometimes I do wonder if some changes are really thought through from a real user experience perspective.

Yeah, to me it made more sense as a home music share than it does as an input

I agree.

Hi Team,

We’ve heard your feedback and will be reverting this change for USB disks. In our next app release, USB will continue to appear in Home Share. Thank you again for your valuable input!
