Play from/to Music-Assistant

Feature description:

I love Symphonium, and I love HomeAssistant. I’d also like to have a multiroom streaming setup, and MusicAssistant looks like a great solution to merge sources and stream to synced players when at home, along with othe home automation perks.

Ideally, this would allow me to play music from the Music-Assistant or Symphonium libraries to Music-Assistant players through Symphonium.

Problem solved:

There is not and will not be (according to devs in a github issue comments) a native android app for Music-Assistant. If there was, I’d still prefer to use Symphomium.

Brought benefits:

An awesome Android app interface to a great music library /streaming server.

Other application solutions:

 
Web interface to Music-Assistant

Would also really like this, the handling of multi room audio is well done in Music Assistant, with seamless transcoding to suit the abilities of each endpoint and inbuilt function to transfer queues between endpoints. Allows endpoints which cannot do FLAC due to poor WiFi to automatically get a MP3 stream. Also casts more reliably when my phone is moving between wireless APs as the stream is coming from the central server instead of relying on the phone. With symphonium my Google cast endpoints need the local proxy option but this means issues when the phone is changing WiFi networks.
