Configuration

1. Add the AriaCast Receiver plugin in the Music Assistant settings.
2. Configure the playback settings:
   • Connected Player: Select a specific player or set to “Auto” to use the currently active player.
   • Allow manual player switching: If enabled, allows the stream to be moved to a different player within Music Assistant

Usage

1. Install the AriaCast Android app.
2. Open the app — it will automatically discover servers on the network that the Android device is connected to`
3. Select the Music Assistant server desired and start playing content
4. Audio will be streamed to the configured Music Assistant player.

Troubleshooting

• Server Not Found: Ensure the Android device and MA server are on the same network. The plugin uses a helper binary that listens for discovery broadcasts
• No Audio Playback: If the app shows as connected but no audio is playing, try disconnecting and reconnecting from the Android app to reset the stream.
• Binary Issues: If the plugin fails to start, check the Music Assistant logs for errors related to the AriaCast binary execution.
