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, saw there was a yt plugin but not for ytm. The plugin for ma is also a bit flaky and auths via cookies, so not proper auth.

    I’ve subbed to Spotify and it works like a charm. Can select Snapcast directly from any Spotify app and then it plays on all snapclient speakers in sync.
