Well I offered to help as I do know the Plex / Plexamp api but I never heard anything back from the wiim team
WiiM’s Mini and Pro are the Chromecast Audio’s real replacement
Chromecast Audio is dead and discontinued. Sonos is too expensive. But the WiiM Mini is the truly affordable streamer that does Multi-room audio.www.theverge.com
"People have asked for PlexAmp support, so WiiM has stated that it is adding it."
No way back now, I guess

I've seen his explanation regarding your case but it's not really convincing. There was a setting before called "next_delay", I can see this in my config file but there is no longer reference in the gui nor help guide. It think it was the way to workaround the issue.
Apart of that my WiiM is able to process nextURI 5 s before the current one ends so the issue is probably more complex.
I wasn't fully correct above, details here:
LMS sends nextURI request:
[10:59:42.032023] AVTSetNextURI:99 [0x69f6e0]: uPNP setNextURI http://192.168.0.26:35368/bridge-11.flac (cookie 0x766)
it gets a response around 5 s later:
[10:59:46.748940] handle_http:484 [0x617da0]: received GET /bridge-11.flac HTTP/1.1
and playback starts, so request was send 18 s before the current track ends:
[11:00:00.385571] sendSTAT:159 [0x617da0]: STAT:[STMs] msplayed 0
Unfortunately my LMS sometimes doesn't get a response, it seems to be related to the file format in my case.

It doesn’t appear on the updated roadmaps for either device…WiiM’s Mini and Pro are the Chromecast Audio’s real replacement

Hopefully regular Plex and not just PlexAmp. I know my friends would pay for a Wiim but doubt they'll pay twice as much to also have a Plexpass subscription. I know I'm not going toWiiM’s Mini and Pro are the Chromecast Audio’s real replacement

Yes I think the implementation on the endpoint side is the same. Plexamp is just a step up in user experience on the application side.
How short is short? Can you give some examples that I might have in my library?

Maybe it’s the “Name that Tune” home game play along album?
My examples were in the 11-13 s range.
I do have a CD of one of those games! I have never ripped it though ....
Well, just take any song and split it into smaller parts.

BTW, Phillipe is a real Mensch for getting out an initial bridge fix for the WiiM so fast.
The biggest issue for testing is that the behavior is quite unpredictable. I have a set of 3 parts - 13 s, 10 s and 9 s, and all of them in flac, mp3, ogg and wav formats. And while Mini works fine with flac set, it stops and cannot advance to the next song with wav set.
I installed 2.1.13.6 yesterday but didn't get a chance to try it until now. It seems a lot better at dealing with short tracks and gapless (FLAC) seems to be OK. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on which way you look at it) I only have FLAC (lots) and a very few MP3s to try it with on local files. Qobuz seems fine as well though. What is your view?
This build works much better than previous ones. Philippe has implemented something similar to the workaround I've mentioned in the discussion as you've seen probably on LMS forum. This kind of "fallback" when nextURI didn't work prevents playback to be stopped.
Yes. I saw. Is your short track playback issue resolved or still dependent on codec?
Resolved. I think that codec dependency was just a coincidence.
