Perhaps this fits the bill? Requires a Home Assistant instance.

I already had home assistant, so this was quick to set up. Seems to be working pretty well and hasn't crashed the mo0de client.
I'll give it a proper trial.
Thank you!
Thanks for this. It looks interesting.
Not sure if it is right or not bit I'll take a look!
Cool! Thanks for the tip!
Have you tried Tempo (FOSS)?
Tempo the android app?
I don't think that helps in controlling speakers?
Navidrome suggests using jukebox mode to play music directly to the server’s audio hardware. It uses mpv. You only need a client which supports jukebox mode. Currently Ultrasonic and dSub seem to support this feature.
My solution is far from ideal but it works for me.
I have a Chromecast connected to my TV which outputs to my stereo system. Power to TV and stereo are controlled via smart plugs that I can quickly toggle when I want to stream music.
The good thing: It works.
The bad things:
- You have to connect navidrome to symfonium using the IP address and not a hostname when using a basic chromecast since that one has a hardcoded dns server. The Chromecast with google TV allows setting a dns server yourself but you loose software volume control through your phone.
- No volume control except directly on the stereo system. This wasn't an issue with the basic chromecast but it is now with the better one...
- For some reason some songs crash the casting to the chromecast. Again this wasn't an issue on the cheap Chromecast for some stupid reason
Thanks for explaining your setup. 👍Sounds a bit hacky too. Unexplained crashes are damn hard to work out
Oh it definetely is a bit hacky.
At one point I tried using home assistant to automatically turn my tv and stereo on or off depending on the state of the chromecast but that didn't really work consistently unfortunately.
Yep, been there and tried that. Never got it working a way I liked
