Configuration

1. Add the AriaCast Receiver plugin via Settings → Plugins → Add a plugin.
2. Choose the Connected Music Assistant Player that AriaCast audio should play on. The receiver announces itself to AriaCast senders under this player’s name.

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, and that UDP port 12888 isn’t blocked by a firewall.
• 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.
• Only One Sender at a Time: The receiver accepts a single AriaCast sender at once. A second device attempting to connect while one is already streaming will be rejected until the first one disconnects.
• Startup Issues: If the plugin fails to start (for example because port 12889 is already in use), check the Music Assistant logs for details.
