Can't recall who had Audirvana issues
Ouch... I hope the new fw will solve my issues with gapless playback using other UPnP controllers as well.
Why ouch? Should be "yay!"
"Yay" is coming when I get the fw and confirm it solves my issue. "Ouch" because I hate to wait.
Audirvana is gapless in my testing. They fixed the earlier bug about playback stopping after 2 or 3 tracks.
Testing UPnP via mConnect player - it is not gapless.
Did you enable gapless to renderer in mConnect options?
With the old FW I can see the same behavior when using mConnect as with eezUPnP - tracks are being played 2 times, first time is gapless.
Yes of course.
I played with those gapless settings - gapless by app and gapless to renderer.
Gapless not working with mConnect in any way i tried.
It is with Audivirana because this simply "pushes" the WAV data to WiiM Mini, so gapless is easy that way.
Whereas mConnect has WiiM Mini "pulls" FLAC data from URL
The bigger issue was music stopping with Audirvana. But they've fixed that.
I'm sure they'll sort the gapless.
Just gotta be nice to their support and have patience
Could you please open http://<your_wiim_ip>:49152/upnp/rendertransportSCPD.xml
and verify if SetNextAVTransportURI action is still on the list, similar to below?
Yes still on the list.
I have to see if this is mConnect issue though by playing to a different UPnP renderer.
I have vague memory that it is inconsistent - maybe why mConnect include the options to toggle on and off
I've purchased mCOnnect HD many years ago but rarely used it.
I only use it for troubleshooting when other protocols are failing

I also use a Sangean Internet Radio (WFR-29) as a streamer connected (using the line out output) to my receiver in my office. For playing background music while I work the quality is definetly good. Never tried it on my main HiFi setup.

Having the Wiim Pro an optical input means that it will be possible to stream a bit perfect audio (let say from a CD player connected with a TOSLINK cable) to another Wiim device in the same network?Only WiFi Alliance cert so far. I hope FCC is in progress.
But... also something more

It could be possible, yes. I guess in multiroom scenario.
Where is "dislike"? Cannot find it...
where is "LMFAO" reaction? Also cannot find
You won't have gapless with mConnect anyway !
Nah, I don't care about mConnect. I hope LMS and eezUPnP are getting gapless fix.
I know nothing about Audirvana, I've never used it, but it's common for UPnP that you "push" URL to the renderer which "pulls" audio data using provided URL. And it can be gapless if whole queue is pushed or if SetNextAVTransportURI is used to allow renderer to prefetch data.
