The server would rung Madsonic/subsonic/?emby/?plex and would follow instruction from the UPNP app on the phone to play sound.
EMBY SERVER RPI2 ANDROID
Just so I get this right: I would Try bubbleUPNP/equivalent on our android phones, and connect it to the server. I can’t convince her the apple price tag is worth it, new to a macbook myself. If the songs were already appearing in an app, that would mean she could more easily use the music she has accumulated over the years rather than just be another google data point and listening to whatever they suggest. My wife uses YouTube because it is easier than navigating a network aware file browser app to the server and playing through that. It’s an open standard, and you should be able to find other apps that work for you as well.Īhh that’s amazing thanks for such quick and complete reply, There’s lots I don’t know but that really connected the dots for me. You can use something like Bubble UPnP on Android, or JuP&P on iOS - to control the source (your server) and the destination (balenaSound on a Pi) - as well as the music related controls.
EMBY SERVER RPI2 BLUETOOTH
This is limited to iOS devices of course - but for other devices, you have bluetooth - also supported by balenaSound.
That way she controls the music from her phone, but the sound is output on the speakers connected to the Pi.
EMBY SERVER RPI2 SOFTWARE
Can the phone app mount a shared network drive, or play from a media server software to a Balena sound rpi? Looking at all the Balena sound tutorials, it looks like the music has to be on the phone.
I want the control app on the phone to show the album art when she uses the phone, the server to send the music to an rpi in the kitchen, driving the dumb hifi. I think balena fit in here but I am not sure. She won’t use any new screen I add to the hifi. I am setting this up for my wife, as she likes her music in the kitchen when she cooks (I prefer silence - can’t focus on the recipe otherwise) She like to just stream her music from YouTube over her crap phone speakers, but we have all her CD music on the server, and a nice hifi there in the kitchen. I have all the music on a server, and I want to stream it to the dumb kitchen hifi. I cannot tell if balena sound is talking to the local raspberry pies only or talking to the cloud? Does music go from the phone to the master rpi? or through a Balena cloud server? From what I have read, I cannot fully grok the working model for Balena Sound. Few “silly questions” if you wouldn’t mind advising a new starter.
