Open a ticket with with app. They are usually fast responding.

Hi,
Yes, I opened a ticket with the app and my Wiim mini resulted to be defective.
They have already sent me a new unit as a replacement.
Very good customer support, kudos to Wiim!

Regards

If I want to listen to the TuneIn radio and I am using Android phone, must I stream bluetooth through my phone?
Can I simply control TuneIn Radio from WiiM App, sending stream through WiFi to Mini and avoid stream going through my Android phone?

Tunein is supported within the WiiM Home app

Does anyone know if the Wiim Pro is a better DLNA/UPnP renderer than the Wiim Mini? I have over 3,000 HiRes tracks in my laptop. When I play all tracks in shuffle mode, the Wiim Mini only selects a fraction of my tracks to play, leaving the rest out of the queue. I am hoping the Wiim Pro with more robust hardware can include all tracks in the shuffle queue.

Unlikely, I understand they basically share the same codebase for common functions. What UPNP server are you using?

Bubbleupnp on Android is largely accepted as the best upnp client app - if you use that instead of the WiiM Home app to play to your Mini, do you get better results?

I tried basic Windows DLNA, and Foobar 2000 on my laptop. I also used Bubbleupnp on my Fiio M11 plus ESS (android based portable Music player)

Using the Fiio M11 with Bubble UPNP as the server AND controller to play music to the Wiim Mini works well. But I wanted something that will work with iOS, as all my other devices are Apple, for which Bubble UPNP is not compatible.

I did try using the Bubble UPNP in the Fiio as the server, playing to the WIIM, controlled via Wiim app on my iPhone. As described in my initial post, the Wiim app only plays a fraction of the available tracks. Same results with using laptop as server, playing to Wiim, controlled via Wiim app on iPhone.

Maybe try mConnect on ios, pointing at your server with the WiiM as player? While I think WiiM are hoping to improve their UPNP client in the WiiM Home app to be as good as BubbleUPNP (which is ambitious), it may still have a way to go to achieve that.

You might also try JPlay on iPhone, iPad or Windoze. A bit overpriced, but perhaps worth it for you.

Thanks for the recommendation! Currently trying mConnect Lite and so far it works great! Not sure I need the full version. Will see. Only thing lacking is Replaygain, but I can live with that. Thanks again!

Thank you! I am happy so far with mConnect, having used it for just a few hours. I will try JPlay if mConnect causes problems. The subscription for JPlay makes me hesitant…

Yeah, it has a nice UI, but the subscription is almost as bad as Roon’s, without anywhere near the features.

Hello,
Has anyone seen the Wiim mini main board pbc/boardwiev/datasheet?
The owner connected a 12V power supply, as a result, the Wimm does not work. When examining the board, burnt components are visible, but I can't find a datasheet on them.

Try to post on wiim forum also. Guys from WiiM usually read and answer.

I don’t think that a datasheet is available but if you a Google image search for “WiiM Mini tear down” you’ll see a few pics online, for example at https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/wiim-pro-information-requested.393202/

You could try raising a ticket to WiiM via the settings/feedback section in the WiiM app, but I don’t know what they’d do in the face of such clear user error and operation of the unit outside its published spec.
