Hi,
I’ve had Navidrome set up for a while and am really happy using Symfonium on andriod, however I’m struggling with a set up for home speakers.
I’m currently running mo0de on a raspi and using Symfonium to cast to mo0de via uPnP. However this is very janky and frequently crashes mo0de after 5-10 songs.
Is there anything better I can use? Is there anything that can use the subsonic api? Or something else I can cast to from Symfonium?
Have you tried Tempo (FOSS)?
Tempo the android app?
I don’t think that helps in controlling speakers?
Navidrome suggests using jukebox mode to play music directly to the server’s audio hardware. It uses mpv. You only need a client which supports jukebox mode. Currently Ultrasonic and dSub seem to support this feature.
My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.
I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.
The good thing: It works.
The bad things:
Thanks for explaining your setup. 👍Sounds a bit hacky too. Unexplained crashes are damn hard to work out
Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.
At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn’t really work consistently unfortunately.

Perhaps this fits the bill? Requires a Home Assistant instance.

I already had home assistant, so this was quick to set up. Seems to be working pretty well and hasn’t crashed the mo0de client.
I’ll give it a proper trial.
Thank you!

Thanks for this. It looks interesting.
Not sure if it is right or not bit I’ll take a look!
