WiiM Mini Streamer

Updated to Firmware Version 4.6.426049. I wasn't on beta. With the new firmware, when casting from Amazon Music, it shows the HD and UHD labels in Wiim app. Does not show bit rate, Hz, etc as compared to when you play Amazon Music from within the Wiim app. Casting has been working so far in bit-perfect mode.

It look like they release the UHD on Amazon casting?
 
Indeed, but some people will surely prefer their equipment to be bit perfect just before DA conversion. :)
For me, it being bit perfect was more about them not potentially up/down sampling that I had no control or choice over. Now that it is bit perfect, I’m more than happy to choose whether I use the EQ or not to suit my listening taste

Cast from the Amazon app, then open the Wiim app and you should see the bitrate info

Personally I've never been able to cast from Amazon app. Mini was never visible here. No real issue as Amazon Music is not so important for me.

In order to do that, since Amazon Music uses AlexaCast, you need to log in to Alexa on the Wiim app. After doing that, your WiiM will appear as a casting target

I know and I've made the setup this way. I was able to cast to Mini from Alexa app, but my Mini was still not visible in Amazon Music app.

That is how I have been playing from the AM app. Perhaps I am on a different version of the app? I am using Android and the app version is 1.3.8.220722.b188ae

There is an open request thread on WiiM forum asking for the incorporation of Squeezelite player. Add your voice to the thread if you'd like to see this happen. Would give us LMS users another player!
There is a Plug-in for simulating upnp as squeezelite so that’s not necessary. Actually that’s the way I stream music from my lms server to WiiM and it does work perfectly (including high bitrates formats).

You use LMS's "UPnP/DLNA bridge" plugin. Is it gapless and can the WiiM be synchronized with your other Squeezeboxes?

Android or iOS?
