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?

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:

You have to connect navidrome to symfonium using the IP address and not a hostname when using a basic chromecast since that one has a hardcoded dns server. The Chromecast with google TV allows setting a dns server yourself but you loose software volume control through your phone.
No volume control except directly on the stereo system. This wasn't an issue with the basic chromecast but it is now with the better one...
For some reason some songs crash the casting to the chromecast. Again this wasn't an issue on the cheap Chromecast for some stupid reason

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.
