As the OP, I'm pleased to say the beta is working really well. Excellent news—at last!

Wiim/Squeezelite now directly available! Great news, and for me this beta will replace the previous (and occasionally clunky) uPnP route to LMS. Great news for Wiim, too, as I think the simplicity of this link to LMS opens up the Wiim Pro to a fresh and sizeable potential audience.

Been trying the beta and I'm very impressed. For me this will now replace the LMS uPnP plugin, which I've been using until now, and thus give me direct access to Wiim/Squeezelite as a player. Surely a big boost in potential users for the Wiim Pro.

News on the progress or otherwise is in this thread... https://forum.wiimhome.com/threads/beta-test-peq-squeezelite-client-and-airplay-transmitter-cast-to-homepod-sonos-and-other-airplay-speakers.1202/#post-14858

Me too. BBC via LMS via Wiim is a good combo.

Yes, d6jg, I agree, having done similar research on most of the services: for me, Qobuz and LMS make the best combo for ease of use, comprehensive library, and good sound. Now all we need, with Roon out of the way, is for Wiim to sort out LMS implementation.

Wiim people, I believe you now have Roon in place, so it's time to sort out LMS implementation, don't you think? And as others have said here, LMS implementation will probably earn you more new users than Roon.

Brantome, Wiim does indeed seem to have some work to do on "bug fixing and minor tweaks". I only open the Wiim app to check for updates, because, in my opinion, while my Wiim Pro is a decent bit of hardware, Wiim's software is poor. LMS, on the other hand, is collectively an excellent suite of...

I've been using LMS with Wiim via the UPnP/DLNA Bridge successfully too, and generally it's been stable, with a few hiccups along the way. But your last point here is key, d6jg, I think: full emulation would be the ideal. It really would make for a brilliant combination. Brantome, my points may...

Given the lack of anything at all from Wiim on this subject, my guess is that they have no intention of implementing LMS/Squeezelite, but just shoved it at the bottom of the roadmap to lure unsuspecting LMS fans to part with some cash. A shame.

Check out what an enthusiastic and active bunch of LMS/Squeezelite/Squeezebox developers and users there are here: https://forums.slimdevices.com You could make some of them happy, Wiim ... and make some sales, too.

Wiim, really seems like time for an update on your progress with implementing LMS/Squeezelite. What's keeping you?

I second d6jg's comment about how well LMS's UPnP/DLNA Bridge 2.1.19 plugin is now working with WiiMs, in my case a Pro (which had been recalcitrant in earlier versions of the plugin). But... it would indeed still be nice to have proper Squeezelite implementation. Come on WiiM people. You know...

Wiim Support, please can you give us an update on progress for the implementation of LMS/Squeezelite. Also, can you confirm that it would be a relatively straightforward process to make that implementation? I believe there are many who are waiting for this! (Please note that this applies to Pro...

I can confirm the poor performance of the Pro when linked to my audio setup from LMS via the UPnP plugin. If I make a playlist within LMS's Qobuz plugin and then start to play it via the UPnP bridge, hardly anything plays as expected. For example, some tracks are skipped entirely (it jumps to...

Thanks stessull, ccs-digital, brava210, I’m going to take the plunge with Amazon US. And on a non-political note, thanks so much David Cameron.

Brantome, thanks, that's encouraging. Anyone here done this first-hand?

Wiim, maybe your misunderstanding was due to an assumption that the UK, being geographically in Europe, would receive EU shipments. But sadly we in the UK left the EU a few years ago, and our now isolated position means we lose out in all kinds of ways. Including no Wiim Pros! And suggesting...

Brantome, I did watch the video of that event. Seemed to be mainly sales talk rather than anything aimed at customers—but did I miss this about UK availability? I don't remember hearing anything on that subject.

My guess from what has been posted elsewhere is that Roon integration is out of the Wiim team's hands now. What a good time to make what I understand to be the relatively easy move to integrate LMS/Squeezelite! There are many of us waiting for this, Wiim Support, as it would open up the Pro (and...
