I’ve got active speakers that have optical in, and rpi zeros connected to them via hdmi via an audio extractor. Installed snapclient on the rpis connected to the speakers, and music assistant on my server.

I have yt music which is our only source of music.

It works well, but I can’t cast from the yt music app. Librespot is included in snapcast, but would mean switching to Spotify. I’ve read a topic on snapcast that they can’t support chromecast due to it being closed source / hard to develop against.

Would lms be an option? I’ve no experience with lms.

So, is there any solution with yt music that allows me to control music to my rpi clients via the ytm app?

    Thanks! Yeah think YT music is going to be hard or impossible. Other than this, I like it better than Spotify.

    Will have a look at those two options.

      Give Qobuz a try. I think they support a lot of the open source based streaming endpoints in the app as long as they properly advertise on your network. Also give Bubbleunpnp a look if you’re on Android. May even solve the YT music issue.

        Yeah I don’t want to use another app. Therefore I’ve subbed to Spotify premium and that works perfectly with Snapcast. Can use the Spotify app to play to all snapclient speakers.
