Another possibility is that your WiFi signal might be just a little too weak for the Mini. I experienced the same problems you mentioned -- setup went OK, playback generally worked esp. with Spotify Connect, but then the Mini would frequently not be findable by the app, and ultimately playback...

Thanks for that information. I actually have DNS server addresses configured on my router, overriding the ISP's DNS addresses (supposedly the override versions are faster / more reliable / more secure). That should apply to all devices on my network, but ... if that Pandora issue happens again...

FYI: this happens to me anytime the WiiM player's "Preferred DNS Server" setting (in Settings / Network Status) gets set to "Off". And that can happen, as I understand it, if there's a network problem with my router, or ISP, etc. WiiM's software attempts to recover by disabling that option, at...

FYI: You can play a preset you've pre-defined to the WiiM player with: command=MCUKeyShortClick:preset# e.g. command=MCUKeyShortClick:3 That isn't the same as being able to play any Tidal (or Qobuz or Spotify etc.) playlist, of course, but it's simple and works fine... (Thanks to @onlyoneme...

My Parasound zAmp (v.3) works fine with WiiM's 12V trigger output (it also has a setting to sense an active input signal, and that works fine as well). It's also fairly compact (designed to fit in a half-height rack space), and sounds good.

Thanks, @Wiimer and @Brantome, for the quick replies. I figured as much. It makes the voice part of the voice remote not useful to me (though the buttons, and thus the remote, are still useful, and overall the WiiM system is excellent). @WiiM Team - It might help others, if someone could at...

Good to hear; thanks. I hope it'll be done in a way that allows a preset for a Qobuz playlist or album (since Alexa and Qobuz don't directly integrate).

It seems that any commands that deal with a music service (e.g. "thumbs up", "what's playing?", "next") only work if the music stream was started via Alexa (i.e., if the stream was started by a voice command like "Play [stream] on [Spotify / Tidal / Pandora / etc.]". Those commands don't work if...

FYI: I opened a WiiM support ticket for this, and WiiM confirmed that presets cannot be initiated by voice command. Although this WiiM FAQ says one can say "open preset one" to have the WiiM start playing preset #1, as of 1/9/24 WiiM confirmed that, unfortunately, that won't work. It was...

Would like to re-highlight this piece of wol-shiver's original request. I've had this same experience a few times over the past year I've had WiiM's -- suddenly a WiiM player stops responding to audio commands (won't join a group, won't play a stream, etc.) and there's no indication what's...

At least WiiM has filtering options for all favorites, which can be helpful sometimes. Unfortunately, neither filtering nor sorting for playlists has yet been provided. I have to order the playlists in a custom way in Qobuz, and then scroll through them in WiiM ... I hope WiiM will add sorting...

One possible workaround, albeit a bit janky, would be to use the WiiM HTTP API to group your players. You could add a shortcut to your phone's home screen to trigger the grouping, or save a favorite in your phone's or laptop's browser to group them, or invoke via an automation app like Tasker or...

Agreed; having more than a few Pandora stations becomes difficult in the current scheme. A search option would help, if sorting is too complicated. The only workaround I've found is to assign favorite Pandora stations to WiiM presets, but of course there are only so many of those...

Note: all comments below assume you've enabled running Android apps on your Chromebook. In case not, see documentation here for that process, including which Chromebooks support it (most recent ones do). Agree -- Would be ideal to have the WiiM Home app work on Chromebooks. One option in the...

FYI: The order is what Pandora calls "Recently Collected" (screenshot below is from the Pandora web app): I'm not sure if that's when the station was first created, or last edited, but it's a Pandora-controlled thing. Agreed -- alpha sort would be better than this default.

@cc_rider : Ah, yes; I should've mentioned that. I haven't tried that interface yet, but remember your mentioning this. I need to check it out... @Agglo: If you plan to try the HTTP scheme in Tasker, at least for now, note that the HTTP API does support grouping and ungrouping, and (Pro only...

You can do some of what the Sonos API provides, using the WiiM API (documentation here). Most of the basics (volume, play/pause, skip) are supported. A couple of differences to note: Unlike with Sonos or Spotify, there's no need for OAUTH authentication or tokens. You just send HTTP commands to...

@Hollywood - Many thanks for your post... I had the same issue and solved it with this info. I had static/poor sound with the WiiM Mini was plugged into my Bluetooth speaker's USB charge port as well as its Aux-in port; was about to return one or both devices due to the static; read your post...

@onlyoneme - Thanks very much! Works perfectly. I'd seen a reference to that in this thread, but tried it with syntax https://<ip>/httpapi.asp?command=setPlayerCmd:MCUKeyShortClick:x, since the Play stream and Play playlist commands had that setPlayerCmd prefix. That didn't work. so I assumed...

Ah! That makes more sense. I have another remote that has an LED that blinks when one presses a button (for what purpose, I don't know); I jumped to the conclusion that little round hole at the top of the remote was a similar LED. But of course the WiiM remote needs a microphone given that it...
