Thanks for the reply, what a shame, would have been an easy solution
I use Tidal anyway so presumably it would not work in anyway?
I might end up buying an secondhand small tablet then.

Tidal isn’t supported on Alexa outside the USA, so if you’re not from there, yes you’d be stuck.Thanks for the reply, what a shame, would have been an easy solution

Working on the Deezer extension a bit more. Able to add a button to the allmusic.com site in the album details page. Working, though not 100%. Allmusic uses its own unique album ID, which doesn't correlate in any way to Deezer's album ID, so I grab the album and artist names, search Deezer, then play the first result, which is usually, but not always, the same album. Maybe I'll see if I can add a selection list if more than one hit... Fun stuff.
If you're not paying the paltry $12/year for allmusic.com (gets rid of the ads), it's a HUGE bargain compared to, say, ROON.

Nearly done with the Deezer extension. Clicking on the WiiM button while on an album page in Allmusic displays a list of one or more (if any) matching albums in Deezer. Clicking on the displayed album cover will start the album playing on your WiiM (Mini or Pro). Could probably do the same for Tidal and Qobuz, but neither of them publishes a public API, and unlike Deezer, both have album reviews in their apps/websites.

Wasn’t dynamic track data for RP added to WiiM in the latest firmware update? I don’t use RP, but will test later today.
No track data on my WiiM. Thanks for testing.

Just the Pro so far
Thanks. Didn’t know. Sounds like I just need patience for it to reach the mini…

Thank you for all this work. It solved one of my problems (not seeing/displaying/controlling the music on a Chrome OS chromebook)

@cc_rider - Tidal Connect, Spotify Connect, Amazon Music album art works great with your Chrome extension.
For some reason Airplay album art does not work at all with this extension
Is there anything obvious that you can think of that could cause this in your code?
When I Airplay, the WiiM Mini app itself does show the album art, so I thought the extension would automagically pull the same pic WiiM Mini shows in their Home app.
The track name and album and file format (256 kbps) shows correctly with Airplay, with your extension.
If there's anything in the code I can try to change , please let me know (if you don't have Airplay yourself?)

I don't use AirPlay, but if you point a UPnP browser tool (I use UPnP Tool app on Android) at the WiiM, AVTransport / GetMediaInfo / CurrentURIMetadata, you should see something like this, where the album art URL is in the UPnP:albumArtURI tag:
XML:

Is there something I can change to have the Chrome extension point to this?
The full thing, with Airplay:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <DIDL-Lite xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:upnp="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/upnp/" xmlns="urn:schemas-upnp-org:metadata-1-0/DIDL-Lite/" xmlns:song="www.wiimu.com/song/"> <item id="0"> <upnp:class>object.item.audioItem.musicTrack</upnp:class> <song:subid></song:subid> <song:description>un_known</song:description> <song:skiplimit>0</song:skiplimit> <song:id>0</song:id> <song:like>0</song:like> <song:singerid>0</song:singerid> <song:albumid>0</song:albumid> <song:controls>0</song:controls> <res protocolInfo="http-get:*:audio/mpeg:DLNA.ORG_PN=MP3;DLNA.ORG_OP=01;" duration="00:00:00.000">wiimu_airplay</res> <dc:title>Peaceful Avenues (Abgt546)</dc:title> <dc:creator>anamē & Lydmor</dc:creator> <upnp:artist>anamē & Lydmor</upnp:artist> <upnp:album>Group Therapy 546</upnp:album> <upnp:albumArtURI>https://192.168.2.41/data/AirplayArtWorkData.png</upnp:albumArtURI> <song:rate_hz>44100</song:rate_hz> <song:format_s>16</song:format_s> <song:actualQuality></song:actualQuality> <song:bitrate>256</song:bitrate> </item> </DIDL-Lite>The album image is definitely showing inside the WiiM Home app itself:
