@WiiM Support , @WiiM Team - what is the format of the Alexa request for “Support input source switch via Alexa”? Thanks

 

[Mr Ee]

I just opened the wiim app to check what version my mini was on, and I saw the dreaded 'cannot be found' message.
Fortunately, it just so happened it was updating to this version at that very moment.
Phew.

And again no fix for upnp servers.

 

[Wiimer]

After the update, there seems to be a bug.

As shown in the image

When you play music on the Pro, the Mini also plays the same song. Actually, the mini is not playing anything in standby.

[jeromeof]

Still no sign of PEQ?

 

[Brantome]

@Wiimer I’m not seeing that behaviour on mine - what music service is that?

 

[Brantome]

Still no sign of PEQ?

No, I think they’re still concentrating on bug fixes and not releasing significant new features, although a statement from them on them on the state of play would be helpful.

 

[Wiimer]

Sorry. Cured.

After the update, the Mini switched the input from Wi-Fi to Bluetooth and connected to my smartphone via Bluetooth without permission. I manually switched the input to Wi-Fi.

Especially considering this statement

"Consequently, purchases should not be based on what is listed on the roadmap."

and the comparison screen

And again no fix for upnp servers.

Have they even acknowledged the problem with the KODI/LibreELEC servers?
From memory you said you've had a bunch of LinkPlay devices for a while, how are you currently using them?

You do realise that certification of Roon is largely out of their hands, don’t you?

 

[canard]

You do realise that certification of Roon is largely out of their hands, don’t you?

wiim support no longer intervenes on their own forum.. so it will be difficult to find out more... where are the difficulties...
maybe roon company them can say more....(?)

already if the eq mode ( not peq) could be set .. would be good ...
modest action...
No?
;-)

Post in thread 'WiiM Mini Streamer' https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/wiim-mini-streamer.31182/post-1562724

that s is more important...

True. And AXN10/MXN10 or CS1 had been announced already on https://blog.roonlabs.com/. No sign of WiiM there.

Yes, they know about problem,i send them ticket and i have replay from them also and they say stay tune we will fix the problem,i installed Miniupnp addon for Kodi and i use them that way but i must first configure one file with Pc with Notepad++ and put correct name of the Hard disks with correct path and when i have power outage problems starts, server always start before hdd and my server are empty and i must disable and enable again,also sometimes the path is different and i must fix the file again, native server from Kodi no have this kind of problems,imagine if i now connect new hard disk or usb stick,i must start all over again with miniupnp server file instead to be visible instantly.

 

[viktor]

I also wanna ask you do you think this empty space problem with servers is App related or device related?is it App needs to fix to send the correct names, or device must accept the file name with spaces and correct the file?Thanks

If they said that they've replicated the issue then that's a start I suppose!

Looks like you're jumping through hoops there. Did you ever try proxying Kodi with BubbleUPnP Server and then use BubbleUPnP (or another alternative) control point?
