Try to change both files to your desired name like that I can open the settings for the first group and add the second client to this group as well, resulting in only one group. When I omitted the local image reference, the supervisor tried to build it for the wrong That takes care of a lot of the complexity and its a rock solid technology. You can now push audio from iOS devices and Macs to your music system or any other Snapcast client. On the Android side Im using M.A.L.P. If you liked this post and want to see more, please consider subscribing to the mailing list (below) or the RSS feed. For a web interface in Python, see snapcastr, based on python-snapcast. This should be the same directory that the snapserver has access to. You might notice that the audio is piped into a file named /tmp/snapfifo-loudspeaker. This can be in the format of a PC, A Pi Zero (optimal for ceiling speakers, inside of a soundbar, or other hidden locations), or any host with the ability to output audio.

A key part of multi-room audio is balancing the output audio levels in each source. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. Home Assistant will need access to the /tmp/ directory. Perfect to run on a Raspberry Pi or a local server. starting/stopping snapclient and a Bluetooth button event watcher. There is a guide (with the necessary buildfiles) available to build SnapOS, which comes in two flavors: Please note that there are no pre-built firmware packages available. One of the most generic ways to use Snapcast is in conjunction with the music player daemon (MPD) or Mopidy, which can be configured to use a named pipe as audio output. the Snapcast audio server, which starts librespot for Spotify playback a MPD daemon to play music and internet radio a MPD daemon to play notifications The Snapcast server has a meta source type that will switch between audio sources based on priority which is very powerful yet simple concept. This app lists all clients connected to a server and allows you to control individually the volume of each client.
