Thanks, someone else linked this too: https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

I’ve thought about running wires too but I don’t always want it playing in every room, and the convenience of "cast to [group A] [group B] etc is too convenient for my family to give up.

That makes sense but I just wanted to check. Someone else linked this to me but it appears at least one other open source project works with it https://github.com/rgerganov/shanocast

Now that’s interesting! Thanks

The cast button works with Apple Airplay and Sonos devices yeah? I also believe it works with (some) Wiim devices.

Dang OK thanks yeah we need all apps (Tidal, BandCamp, Pocketcasts etc) not just Spotify.

Music assistant is indeed cool and can do multi-room, but you have to go to it specifically first.

Snapcast allows me to use the “chromecast” button inside the spotify app?

Won’t work with multiroom unfortunately.

I have a home server, I just need the little parts that plug into the speaker.

I actually looked into Wiim and it’s really great, but you need to open the music in their app in order to do mutiroom. You can’t just “cast” from Spotify or whatever.

EDIT: Some Wiim devices have chromecast built in

Thanks, but I don’t think that’s it. I rebooted and also tried adding a new container to NGINX with a DuckDNS url and it won’t load on the local network.

Well like I said DuckDNS is working

Hm, pinging works and shows my (external) IP. But no device I’ve tested can load the duckdns URL.

EDIT: Two of the URLS show the local IP replying when pinged. Not configured any differently so I’m not sure what’s going on there. This was a PiHole thing apparently

Yes and DuckDNS is working flawlessly everywhere except that the network the server is also connected to.

Arris G36 but I don’t believe that’s the issue as it was working for years before now and on a different router too.

Thanks for the response but restarting the modem/router didn’t change anything, nor did creating a new container/NGINX config.

My exact experience too. Fedora “just works”. I especially like the immutable varieties for even more “just works (and continues to just works)-iness”

Ohh nice thanks!

Windows 11 no longer “just working” is what made me finally take Linux seriously as an option and I am so glad I did.

I genuinely think it is ready for prime time. As I said elsewhere the concept of immutable distros is a game changer for those of us who like to customize but hate the command line

Immutable distros help tremendously with the “It just works (and doesn’t stop just worksing)” aspect. Fedora Kinote is what finally allowed me to transition from Windows. Literally zero issues for over eight months now and I am not a super techie person. I hate the command line and need GUIs.

Honestly I think an immutable KDE distro is going to be the windows killer for pretty much anyone looking to switch. It’s literally better than Windows in every way.
