WiiM Viewer Chrome Extension

[cc_rider]

OK, I've added wiim-deezer.zip to the first post of this thread. It's a Chrome extension, requires the same setup as the others, but instead of a pop down, it will pop out to its own resizable window. Fairly crude CSS at this point, if you have the chops, please feel free to prettify - my CSS skills are minimal, at best. Cannot figure out how Flow works with this new Deezer2 API, so had to leave that button off.

Added a slightly modified version for the Kiwi browser on an Android TV box in first post of this thread.

A $29 T95 Android TV box driving a 24" display on the Kiwi browser. Doesn't appear to be a way to force Kiwi to full-screen, but not horrible.

Very beautiful display. I have followed the same procedure, but the cover art is not covering the full height of the screen and text does not seem properly aligned. Could you help me modify the HTML to get the perfect fit like yours. I have currently installed Kiwi browser on Mi box and display is on 32 " old Sony LCD

Seems to have stopped working.
I hadn't used it in a while so I updated the IP of my Pro. It's not recognizing the WiiM. Nothing has changed with my device or home network. It's connected via Ethernet. Router reboots every morning at 3AM.

WiiM Viewer works just fine for me.
Most routers allow to setup fixed IPs for devices.
That way you can avoid need for updating IP to WiiM Viewer.

Have you updated the WiiM IP in the extension? See post #5 of this thread.

Turns out you have to enable microphone access for the Kiwi app in Android settings. Working now, added a new Kiwi zip file in the first post, with spectrum analyzer.

I'm not aware of any JavaScript VU meter modules.

Some sort of security policy issue on your box. Google may help, I can't troubleshoot for you.

Just stumbled onto this and this is awesome! Been trying to figure out how to utilize an old tablet I have as a display in my stereo rack. This works perfectly but do have one question as not a Javascript person. Is there a way to force the screen on when playing? I really don't want the screen to be active all the time and burn it out. Would love it if there is an option to turn the screen on when active and off when not. Curious how are others dealing with this?

The Kiwi Spectrum version will display date/time when the music stops, but there’s no way to control the screen directly from a browser. Make sure Kiwi is set to night mode, and that the screen is always on.

Very cool! I have my Wiim Pro installed in the kitchen (where my wife will use it most of the time with spotify connect) and had an old, unused tablet laying around...thanks @cc_rider !

Thanks, I was able to figure it out. Using Tasker for Android, I was able to create a task that uses WiiM Api to determine if it's currently playing or not. If so, I have it turn on the screen and set the screen timeout to several hours to avoid it turning back off. Also used Taskers Autoinput app to click on album area and force full-screen. I have the task running every 2 min in the background. Once music stops, it sets screen timeout to 2 mins. Still tweaking but seems to work well for now. Let me know if anyone interested and I'll share my task setup.

I should mention that clicking on the album art will also invoke fullscreen.

Yes, that's exactly what I am doing, but via Tasker, so that you don't have to manually do it. For some reason, even though the screen is maximized, when the screen turns off and back on, kiwi doesn't stay maximized. Thus automated the clicking on the album art.
