YouTube music

Any plans to add YouTube music to the browser?

TBH I use tidal because I can tell a difference between Spotify and Tidal, however it's not night and day. I just prefer the sound Tidal has.

Youtube is inferior to both to me, however I won't rain on it if you like it. Given WiiM supports Casting, the youtube App might be an option?

Yeah, the app(s) and Chromecast has been suggested in a few responses of late - I think YouTube Premium is required though.

If Wiim would just upgrade the BT to LDAC, all this would be unnecessary and simple.
At least for the Android users.

@WiiM Support is there any news or timeline when YouTube music will be integrated? Thanks!

+1. My wife is getting mad and is asking why I spent money on beginning to 'fix' the SONOS system when it wasn't broken in the first place... and apart from the obvious DAC & res 'on-paper' improvements and my own desire to take advantage of hi-res Tidal content I'm starting to agree with her. The SONOS units we have splashed around the house work fine and apart from the woeful app update it does everything we need and sounds 90-95% as good as the WiiM anyway.

Maybe I don't bother replacing our SONOS system with WiiM afterall? That was the plan.

Any solid ETA?

It was announced in the spring in the marketing phase of the arrival of the ultra "from memory"
(just don't forget that the audio quality will remain low and that there seems to be little thought of avoiding major latency problems with the video.... maybe just in """audio" so...)

Yeah, this is purely about the audio side of YouTube Music, not video. SONOS had it working a loooong way back in the 'Google Play Music' days and it all seamlessly transferred over to 'YouTube Music' Back in 2020. Odd that WiiM can't do something SONOS easily could & still can!

The short answer is YES.

I would love this for wiim mini soon

Is there any update on YouTube Music support and option for beta testing?

 

[WiiM Support]

Hi Team,

We're actively working on this feature and hope to share an update with you soon. Stay tuned—more news coming shortly!

@WiiM Support could you make sure that thumbnails are displaying correctly whether it has a album art or auto-generated snapshot of video image? Currently, any YouTube videos with YouTube Music app / Chromecast do not show thumbnail on WiiM Home App.

Hi! I would like to refresh the topic of Youtube Music. I think we are all waiting for this functionality. Can you (the Wiim team) at least give an estimate of the implementation date, if you are planning it at all.

Thank you, I looked wrong (at the date the user joined, not the date of the post).

We are therefore waiting.
