I'm looking for a media player/OS for an ARM SBC that can stream from my navidrome (subsonic compatible) music server, and be controlled via either a web GUI or an android app. I'd love to hear what you guys came up with!
Currently really happy with my setup, I'm using Navidrome as my music server, along with Ultrasonic as my phone client.
I've set up a (dumb/analog) speaker system on my workshop, and I'd like to be able to listen to music there, but I don't want to add a whole setup (be it an old laptop, or add kb/mouse, monitor and such) and my phone no loner has a 3.5mm jack.
I have a Raspberry Pi 3, an OrangePi Zero, and an OrangePi PC+. I'd rather use the zero or the PC+ since they're kinda unstable/wonky and I don't trust them anymore for stuff I want to keep running 24/7 (like pihole).
I'm open to testing other music servers (volumio maybe?) on my main homelab if that means having the ability to change the client/sink from the app/gui (something like what Spotify does, where you can pick from any client to stream to other clients/speakers)
Thanks for this write up! I was looking for something to replace volumio/hifiberryos and mopidy with Iris is a great combo. I couldn't get the subsonic plugin working too well (the plugin seems a big half baked and the maintainer doesn't used anymore), but the local plugin works fine over smb.
