Thanks very much for your feedback and we will check this issue immediately.I have noticed that when a stream is cast from a stream app the reported bitrate is not accurate.
Just try a known stream app, say from KUSC or BBC, etc. cast that to WiiM and check the reported bitrate.
What casting method are you using?I have noticed that when a stream is cast from a stream app the reported bitrate is not accurate.

Both are in fact plausible.Chromecast from BBC Sounds (320kb/s) it shows on WiiM 24 bit 48kHz.
Airplay from KUSC AAC 96 kbps, WiiM reports 900kb/s, 16 bits, 44.1kHz
The KUSC stream is 96kbps…Both are in fact plausible.
The BBC Sounds content has to originate from / decode to something, and one would imagine it probably started out at 24/48. I don't know whether the BBC Sounds app casts off to WiiM or proxies through the app. If the latter then WiiM could simply be seeing PCM.
If the KUSC AIrPlay is being sent from the iDevice as ALAC then the bitrate and format sound about right.
Yes but as a general rule the receiving iDevice will send the decoded stream over AirPlay in ALAC 16/44.1, for which a data rate of 900kbps would not be unreasonable.The KUSC stream is 96kbps…
It's the app, not the firmware. Was included in the latest update, at least on Android.Also… that firmware rev 2.7.5 was made a long time ago. With much more recent updates, even up to a week or so ago, I could see the sample frequency and bit depth…
As per my screenshot, that app (not firmware) update was only two days ago on iOS. The android app update is similarly dated 22Dec.Also… that firmware rev 2.7.5 was made a long time ago. With much more recent updates, even up to a week or so ago, I could see the sample frequency and bit depth…
Thanks for the clarification.It's the app, not the firmware. Was included in the latest update, at least on Android.
I‘d take from what they say is that the information isn’t reliable so it’s better not showing it than having people dispute it. In my case, I’d probably see the info on the amp my WiiM is connected to if I wanted - these days I tend to look at the numbers less and less and trust my ears.Thanks for the clarification.
I hope they reconsider, decode the metadata and display it.

Sure, but trust and verify.I‘d take from what they say is that the information isn’t reliable so it’s better not showing it than having people dispute it.
