Just thought I would come back here and update the post as I was the OP, but seems I've been beaten too it!
I gave up using the WiiM Pro streaming from JRiver as I just couldn't get it to play gapless, tried everything including Bubble UPnP and a few other tweaks, but nothing worked sending...
Haha, you don't know how funny that is Mike - I have a friend here who keeps badgering me to do the same . . . I think it's a conspiracy!
I'll give it a go, but don't tell him as I can see the gloat forming on his face already :)
That's all as maybe, I'm just describing my experience as honestly as I can in order to try and share that knowledge, to hopefully solve my issue and improve the product so it works well with commonly used software like JRiver. Especially for those people who are less computer savvy.
I've no...
I like LMS, used it in the past - I'll ponder that, so thanks for the suggestion Brantome.
I've just binned Roon actually due to the dependency of Roon 2.0 on an internet connection, that's what prompted all this change - I used to enjoy tinkering with digital audio and building servers, but...
OK thanks guys, it's not a good experience on the WiiM for my sized library, at least not via my two Android devices and the WiiM Home app, maybe iOS is a better experience? I’m used to an instant response so any kind of lag or delay I find frustrating – it’s not quick enough for me, but I...
Still no solution for my issue after working away until the very early hours, I have probably tried every conceivable setting in JRiver to get the Pro to play gaplessly as a client, including a new install of JRiver and a reset of the Pro. There are settings in the JRiver DLNA configuration to...
Hi Johnny,
It's a 20,000mAh Anker PowerCore and works superbly. It's output is 5V-2A which matches the power output of the supplied WiiM plug. A good compromise over a linear power supply or iFi iPower. The WiiM uses very little power and it was playing music all day yesterday, with ample power...
Yes, it is quite a gap - I have a stopwatch and it's over 4 seconds!
The odd thing is this problem never occured when I used an i5NUC with Volumio installed and acting as the renderer. Everything was noise free and gapless with the same configuration. It's confusing but it must be fixable if...
I'm making some progress, as Simbun reported JRiver was converting the file which I hadn't noticed, as the JRemote app just shows 16 bit 44.1 kHz - however, playing via the WiiM Home app I could see songs were being shared as 320 kbps, 16/44.1 Shows how good my ears are!
So going into JRiver...
Thanks guys, that seems to be the problem BGLeduc, how the chain runs? With JRiver acting purely as a UPnP music server and using the WiiM Home app to play music via the My Library > Home Music Share option it can see the JRiver server and indexes the music. Playing Dark Side of the Moon this...
Just thought I'd add that everything else works perfectly, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and the setup procedure was very quick and intuitive, I was playing music in about 5 minutes, so kudos to the app development team. If it wasn't for this one issue I'd be a very happy camper :)
The control point is JRiver Media Server which is both a DLNA and UPnP server and (normally) it natively plays gaplessly and has done for anything else I've used previously, lastly that was Volumio acting as a renderer. JRiver is a DLNA server, renderer and controller and I use the JRemote app...
Hi,
My first post here after taking delivery of a WiiM Pro today. Initial thoughts were very impressed indeed, but after some listening I came across a problem I thought wasn't an issue, gapless playback? Hopefully there is a solution I've missed, as I really like the player and don't want to...
