This tutorial will explain the limitations and considerations of WiiM Multi-room music, created through the WiiM Home App.


Limitations


When streaming WiiM Multiple-room music using any of the following protocols, only one WiiM device (master WiiM device) will output audio:

  • Google Cast
  • Roon
  • LMS (Lyrion Media Server)


This is because the WiiM Multi-room music does not support these protocols for multi-room playback.


Considerations and Workarounds


Consider the workarounds below to resolve the issue.


Workaround 1: Use Airplay for WiiM Multi-room Music Streaming


You can stream WiiM Multi-room music using Airplay. For detailed instruction, refer to How to Stream Audio with AirPlay on WiiM Devices.


To use Airplay for WiiM Multi-room music streaming, the master WiiM device must support Airplay. However, please note that neither the WiiM Amp Pro nor the WiiM Ultra supports Airplay.


Workaround 2: Create Goolge Cast Multi-room Music


If you want to stream Multi-room music via Google Cast, you need to create Google Cast Multi-room music instead of WiiM Multi-room music.

  1. Launch the Google Home App on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Create Google Cast Multi-room music in the Google Home App.
