WiiM Mini Streamer

[Overseas]

We do not know numbers but usually we don't have such reports at all in case of other devices.

The f... plastic door just crumbled, like made of bread crumbs or something.
In my view, Wiim better delivers the gadget with a permanent optical cable stuck definitevely there and thats it.

If it works... what exactly?
I am not touching the optical anymore. Only the physical port is damaged, so the connection itself probably works but I am not trying to find out, I do not see how to stabilize the cable inside.
The rest works.

you tried..?
there that the broken protective door at first sight...
no?

I dont understand what you ask. No try of optical after the accident.

Thanks Alan! Just so I understand… you’re using the Logitech Media Server software installed on Windows (rather than the Logitech Sqeezebox device), and using the WiiM app to access its file structure. Is the WiiM searching the metadata or just the file structure? Is there any app player (iOS or Android) that can build a library from metadata?

I shouldn’t be too concerned about building a library because my file structure is pretty well organized anyway (genre/artist/albums/tracks).

Yes, I have over 12,000 music tracks on my windows laptop, accessed by Logitech Media Server, so when I switch the laptop on the WiiM can see the music files, search by artist, track, album or playlist and play them via the Wiim App.

Not sure if the WiiM can see the metadata and I dont know if there is an app player that can build a library from the metadata.

The door works also as a part of locking mechanism at the top, not only dust protector.

I've always preferred an old type:

an old standard.
I also prefer of course
no door..no door to break etc
;-)
hihi
except that we lose the "cork" all the time..
(
I better understand what you were referring to as a more qualitative toslink connector...
)

I would recommend you to report your story on the official WiiM forum as they appear to be no longer active here.

Send that picture they will send another no questions asked, and yes different on the pro and a different OPtical cable type as well.

Vendor was helpful in the end. Maybe I will have the chance to put my on hands on Pro to check it.
If not, money goes to Yamaha WXC 50.

On the plus side - the door is just a dust/dirt barrier. Really not needed if you are using the port.

What are you talking. No door to press it, no physical stability for the cable. Unless you keep it by hand.

I don't like Yamahas app for music streaming at all. I'm going the other way, from WXC-50 to Wiim pro

Ah - OK, that's not good then. I've always thought the clipping mechanism was separate. Possibly I"m thinkning of the older "cork" style shown above.

Unfortunately this door is part of the locking mechanism, it adds some pressure to the plug and simulates missing hole at the top of socket.

I nearly bought a 2nd hand WXA very recently as it was possibly an amp upgrade as well, do you know if the Amazon Music App will see the Yamaha's in their list of devices to stream to so you can use the Amazon App rather than the Yamaha one?

Now this is a nice optical

NO Wiim is the only one who can. Not even BluOS can
