Audio encoded in lossy opus 48 kHz as far as I can see in the manifest.Anyone knows what Amazon SD actually is?

Ok thanksWhen I force SD playback in AM app I see SD on the Nest display during casting.
At least they make their API available for support of their streaming services on other devices unlike Apple for instance where if you don’t pay for Airplay support, you’re stuck. And it’s no surprise that where you have an ecosystem, you want people to buy into it.Amazon Music casting to chromecast not being Ultra HD is an Amazon issue then. I believe at first they didn't support chromecast at all. They are probably deliberately limiting the bit rate to force more people into their eco system. It is why I do not like Amazon.

Deezer app has no communication You use WiiM app only to use DeezerThis may have been covered before but how do I control what bitrate, compression or lossless/FLAC is streamed when using Deezer account (I've Deezer premium). There are times when I want to constrain bandwidth, I assumed I could do that via the Deezer app (eg set wifi streaming to standard (128kbps) or high quality (320kbps) as opposed to hi-fidelity (FLAC). Changing this setting in the Deezer app and then playing Deezer from within the WiiM home app seems to ignore this setting.
Am I missing something?
For reference my setup is WiiM home latest app running on Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro, WiiM mini feeding into Chord Mojo 2 with the SPDIF/optical cable.
I've set max audio output for the SPDIF to 44.1Khz, 16bit. Depending on which track I then play via the WiiM home app from Deezer library/playlists, etc I can see FLAC with > 500kbps, for example regardless of dialling back the WiFi streaming bit rate on the native Deezer app.
onths ago my Google Home speakers were receiving only HD lossless adaptation set proposed in the manifest. Now they receive both sets, SD and HD, so it's no longer clear for me whi

It's a known issue. Wiim has not fixed this.Yes I am using the WiiM app for Deezer playing.
I'm up to date with the app and firmware but the Deezer play within the WiiM app can sometimes show it is playing FLAC at high kbps and other times lossy 128kbs. I know that I can set the max bit depth/sample rate out of the SPDIF that feeds into my Chord DAC - however, I am confused as to what I can use to control whether the Deezer player within WiiM app plays lossy or FLAC ? Also, I am noticing skipping going on when I'm playing from a playlist. I read that was a known issue but maybe there have been false dawns about a fix ?
Per WiiM's forum, it's on Deezer's side, which isn't at all surprising.It's a known issue. Wiim has not fixed this.
Unfortunately, this also depends on DRM/endpoint device certification level, with only AM partners' devices being potentially certified (or not certified, this is not given) for playing back at high bitrates and/or lossless codecs. So the choice of particular playback stream is more complicated than just "let's play the best available codec/SQ among those listed in the manifest". CCA devices at the moment are not certified by Amazon, hence they would fallback to lowest bitrate default codec. Perhaps Amazon has certification in the plans for some Chromecast devices and that would explain extended manifest. Or they have simply unified the negotiation protocol for their Alexa servers and it now uses the same manifest for native and alien devices, who knows?Chromecast support on AM seems to be evolving (or regressing...). 3 months ago my Google Home speakers were receiving only HD lossless adaptation set proposed in the manifest. Now they receive both sets, SD and HD, so it's no longer clear for me which one is being played for devices without the display.
You will need a DLNA/UPnP server with UPnP search functionality, very few has it. For instance, Plex Media Server does not support UPnP search. The search needs to be done on the server end for obvious reasons (performance).Anyone knows how this UPnP Search for Home Media Server would work?
I know, I was asking about application support. Is it supposed to work the same way when it allows to search on music services on Search tab?You will need a DLNA/UPnP server with UPnP search functionality, very few has it.
