WiiM Mini Streamer
- Thread starter Globuli
- Start date
No, Alexa MRM groups are not achieved via bluetooth - see my earlier comments on MRM. And the WiiM Mini operates happily as a member of an MRM group. Someone had this issue earlier and resolved it by rebuilding the MRM group
Edit: “Alexa MRM is optimized to ensure reliable playback and maintain synchronized clocks between the devices over a standard home Wi-Fi network.”

Agree 100%
Forget paying $600 for a blue sound Node.... Not to mention the Nodes internal DAC isn't great so you still need to connect to an external DAC like the Wiim.
Indeed - Bluetooth wouldn’t have the bandwidth for one thing. This is an old alexa myth, I think partly borne out of echo devices dropping external Bluetooth speaker connections when part of a multi room music group. Even that isn’t entirely true as some models do and some models don’t…

Long as they have Amazon, Qobuz and Tidal done, I'm fine with the Wiim app...
This company has a winner on its hands.
I mean amazon is nearing to its finishing line with both wiim app and amazon app working properly. I was told tidal master will be next in line starting wiim app supporting master then will work on first unfold. The biggest news was they are working to make wiim mini to decode full mqa without using external mqa dac.

Great, although I'm not concerned with MQA,. .WAV and .Flac are good enough for me.

The Node does seem like a nice product, but not at $600, maybe $300, I like the ability to play high res files via USB and it's internal DAC does full MQA, but $600 is simply too much, overpriced.
Have you been whitelisted by WiiM to get access to the beta? Have you signed in to Alwxa from the WiiM app? Have you signed in to Amazon Music in the WiiM app and under settings there, toggled on access to the Amazon Music HD/UHD beta?

The Beta seems to be available to everyone now: https://wiimhome.com/releaseNote
Good news - and when they talk of Amazon Music settings, they mean the settings option that appears at the end of the list when you select Amazon Music from the WiiM app browse screen.
Yeah, today I’ve had audio stopping although the Wiim and Amazon Music app show it’s still paying (but at different parts of the track), wrong track info/art being displayed and it skipping thru all tracks in a playlist. All bug reported.The way it's written, it's only inside WiiM Home app not casting?
Maybe casting paused because they have reproduced a little bug I found - sorry guys
Haven't had any of these issues when casting yet but will keep an eye and ear out for them
Or did you mean inside WiiM home app? I haven't beta tested any of that since the first day when it wouldn't play past track 1. I should test a bit more
Given we had casting first, I would hope it’s an oversight. Easy to test though…
A mixture tbh. It’s generally fine if you don’t hop between apps and functions, but asking it to skip tracks in either app, hopping between casting and the WiiM app does seem to upset it a little. I also noticed it dropped by amazon music credentials so I had to log back in and toggle hd/uhd back on.
