I’ve tried multiple applications for integrating my music collection, from Plex to DLNA and Lyrion Music Server, but all of them come with significant limitations.

Currently, I use Navidrome (running in a Docker instance) to stream music to my mobile phone. It’s a powerful solution, especially for creating smart playlists based on any tag in my music library and for displaying album artwork, artist images, and more. Navidrome is also accessible through the Subsonic API (in my mobile I use an app called substreamer to access it).

While I’m aware there are already many integrations available, based on my personal experience, adding Subsonic API support could greatly enhance the user experience when playing local media (could offer an experience equivalent or even better than streaming platforms).

not the same - DLNA streaming to WiiM isn't full integration with the WiiM app , like Tidal etc have.

personally I use casting (Chromecast) from Symfonium app (connected to Navidrome server) to WiiM Pro:
it works okay but very limited to CC basic features -I can play/pause, skip to the next track and that's it (track backwards doesn't work), oh and I can see the cover art on the WiiM app.
just to compare, even casting from Tidal using its web app (Chrome based browser on PC) , I can skip track back and forward through the WiiM (app / remote control) . but again - that's it. I can't see the playlist, audio quality etc
