Cast Plexamp to Wiim Mini (no Chromecast option)

All credit for this goes to songchenwen and the info can be found here: https://github.com/songchenwen/plexdlnaplayer. So, it mightbe a good idea to check that first.

This tutorial assumes you have Docker installed, and probably Portainer. To get those installed and running is a bit outside the scope of this quick how-to.

(Another note on this project: I have had the Wiim Mini disappear as a “Cast To” option in Plexamp after finishing this tutorial. However, a reboot of the Wiim Mini and it showed up again.)

I prefer Docker Compose to Docker Run, so I converted this:

docker run -d \
  --name=plexdlnaplayer \
  --network host \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -v <path to data>:/config
  ghcr.io/songchenwen/plexdlnaplayer

To this:

version: '3.3'
services:
  plexdlnaplayer:
    image: ghcr.io/songchenwen/plexdlnaplayer    
    container_name: plexdlnaplayer
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /srv/your_drive_uuid_here/AppData/plexdlnaplayer:/config
#     ports:
#      - 32488:32488

Then go here:
http://192.168.50.223:32488/
(this is the ip of your Portainer server, so you’ll need to change that for your system).

Click on the https://plex.tv/link shown on the above page

Use the 4 digit pin found at http://192.168.50.223:32488/ next to your Wiim Mini and input it at the plex.tv link that you just clicked on.

Restart everything and connect to Wiim device from the Wiim app

It should then show up in Plexamp!
