Cannot use spotify connect following firmware update

[cooky560]

As post says, it was fine until I installed the latest firmware, now neither google cast, spotify connect or tidal connect work.

Have tried rebooting the device, haven't seen if it also affects my wiim amp, only the pro plus so far

Same here. Spotify Connect will not connect to either of 2 Minis. Fails on both Android phone and Android tablet. Worked fine for a year until today. Firmware 4.6.606643.

Have to tried it to any non WiiM device?

My Sennheiser soundbar also does not play Spotify.
Tidal Connect works, Spotify Connect not.

Twitter/X currently full of non-WiiM Spotify subscribers complaining that Connect isn't working with a galaxy of other devices and ecosystems so I'd suggest this is almost certainly not a WiiM problem at this point.

Hi guys!

I have arylic module that I have been using with Wiim app for couple of weeks now. All fine until today. Out of curiosity I tried back the old app 4stream which is basically the same as wiim one. Now my streamer works again. Hope it helps fix the problem for wiim users.

Mine also not connecting to Spotify. Looks like a serious problem.

Try 4stream app. It uses same firmware

Just try my sennheiser headphone and after change connection with wiim amp, spotify is now playing on wiim amp. Strange?

It seems to be working now. I'm streaming Spotify Connect to one of my Minis with my Android phone.

Must have been a Spotify issue. I did nothing here but suddenly Spotify Connect began working again, about 5 minutes ago.

I’ve only just got the WiiM Amp and so still very much learning… last night I managed to play through Spotify connect on both the Amp and my apple HomePod tonight this doesn’t work I don’t have the option to select a second pair of speakers so can’t do multi room.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the speaker list in the Spotify app and choose airplay, you should be able to choose more than one AirPlay target and thus do multiroom.

Ok thanks what about Echo devices?

I’d like to use Spotify connect to maintain quality…

You should be able to use an Alexa multi room music group with echos and even your WiiM amp (if you have linked that to your alexa account) but you won’t be able to mix airplay speakers with that grouping.

Debatable given Spotify is a lossy streaming service (max 320Kbps) and airplay can do at least that.

Thanks that’s really helpful… can you also add Sonos to the Alexa multi room.

Thanks I didn’t know that.

Hi, we're hearing reports that people can now use Spotify Connect, can you confirm if it's now working for you?

 

[Petevid]

Yep , now fixed for me too.
