Is there anyone who uses a hardware #hifi component to #stream#music files from a #server or #nas in your network (using protocols like #smb or #upnp#dlna) to your amplifier? If so, what are you using and what are you experiences? I would like to have a chat about this matter and it would be nice to make an overview of different solutions with exact features (and bugs!) because this information is almost impossible to find. #streaming
I'm a noob trying to grok how to make #HomeAssistant (as the domestic music player) and #Nextcloud (as the music server) play nicely together on an old PC running #Yunohost.
I have yet to figure out how to direct home assistant to a folder on nextcloud for it's music, but there's probably a way, as home assistant can recognise my nextcloud server as a device. they both have a nice GUI, and nextcloud has easy GUI file uploading, so it should be an easy system for me to use even if I come back to it in a few years wanting to adjust it.
Even Yunohost has a (web portal) GUI.
Oh I also need my home assistant server to recognise the soundcard.
(Home assistant can also recognise #DLNA and #jellyfin servers, and Yunohost has jellyfin and miniDLNA in it's app store so these are probably plan B & plan C)
