WiiM Ultra: Vu-Meter (yet another request: Full Range / Volume Range)

[pjorgenunes]

Hi,

Regarding WiiM Ultra Vu-Meter (the one that exists already and hopefully future ones that WiiM Team manages to publish ) I think it would be very nice to have this options:

1 - Volume Sensitive (the current only option - the needle maximum is related to output volume)
2 - Not Volume Sensitive (currently not available - The needle maximum should be related to the level of the sound on the source file at each moment - as it the output of WiiM is at fixed volume)

I use WiiM as a preamp controlling the volume in it.
Specialy when I listen at moderate sound levels (example at night) the needle movement is so anemic... I would like to see the "full-range" swing independently of volume level.

As stated at the beggining I would like to have these two options in the current (only one) vumeter and all future ones

BR,
Paulo

This has been commented on at least 5 months ago; presumably it's in their 'rainy day' backlog

I have a doubt...but we agree...vu-meter... it s useless in this use...(?)

In fact, the naming VU meter is wrong. The measurement is Decibel, not voltage. Common mistake that is made frequently.

VU = Volume Unit

Perhaps the ”Visualization” part could be made partially open source in way of ”plugins”, then anyone could create their own and add value to the functionality.

I would like to see this option. Need to be able to dim the current display also.

When using tidal the VU meter barely moves, at HDMI its fine

You already can dim the current display. I'm using level 3 brightness.
