no connection possible / forbidden access

[poging2]

Hi all,

I am having problems streaming local content to the recently purchased Wiim mini over Airplay. Basically, I am unable to stream any local content to the mini over wifi outside the app.
My osx devices give me ‘no connection possible with the Wiim mini / cannot be selected for audio output’. Airfoil doesn’t work either: 'remote speaker Wiim mini has forbidden access'. When I install the app on an M1, it sees the local itunes library but it skips over my (own ripped) songs.

I have already tried updating and resetting, as well as toggling IPv6 on and off, but nothing works. I also made a ticket but haven’t made it past autoreply. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips on how to solve this problem? Otherwise I am going to have to send the mini back (and I would rather not have to do that).

I have a vague recollection of perhaps a similar issue where it was to do with permissions within the Apple home app - let me see if I can find it via search.

See this thread https://wiim.community.forum/thread...ist-for-airplay-or-home-app-to-add.929/page-3

Have you added your Wiim Mini to your apple Home app as an accessory, and then checked under your home settings in the app under Speakers&TV to ”anyone in this network” without a password?

Thanks. I thought I wasn't using the home app, but I see an older Sonos speaker that I added a long time ago (which works, streaming and all). Home sees the mini, but I get the same type of error as I get on OSX: no connection possible. So I cannot connect the mini to begin with.

EDIT: so I set up the sonos so I could access the home settings, but the password was already turned off.

Have you tried the three options above that? I have mine set to “anyone in this network”.

That’s about my limit of experience with the Home app - hopefully a more experienced apple user can pitch in and make other suggestions.

Hopefully WiiM will pick up your ticket and respond further.

BTW, what‘s your ticket number so Wiim can cross check it when they read this thread?

 

[poging2]

yeah I tried that too: access for anyone. My ticket number was #11909, but this just told me to send feedback via the app. That yielded #12174. Anyway, thanks for your help. I may try to set up a new network tonight with an old router to rule out my current one; it's not a hardware issue with the mini but some permission thingy somewhere.
