Description
An iOS port of Snapcast: https://github.com/badaix/snapcast
This app requires a Snapserver to be installed and running in your local network.
It supports both playback and control of other clients.
Snapcast is a multiroom client-server audio player, where all clients are time synchronized with the server to play perfectly synced audio. It's not a standalone player, but an extension that turns your existing audio player into a Sonos-like multiroom solution.
Audio is captured by the server and routed to the connected clients. Several players can feed audio to the server in parallel and clients can be grouped to play the same audio stream.
One of the most generic ways to use Snapcast is in conjunction with the music player daemon (MPD) or Mopidy.
What’s New
Version 0.26.0
- added opus decoder support
Ratings and Reviews
Playback stutters badly and all clients show twice
Playback is stuttering badly. I read somewhere that the iOS time stamp is not accurate enough for synched playback.
I don’t really need playback in my phone so not really a problem for me.
All clients appear twice on my screen. Even old clients that are no longer on my network. This app needs a setup option to hide unused/unwanted/old/duplicate clients.
Super useful
Does what it says and lets me control all my snapcast devices that have ever connected to your server and even allows group naming. Even the snapweb interface doesn’t have this many features!
Pressing play in the app connects as another snapcast client and can play background audio on my phone without fuss. Newly added support for dark mode and iOS media controls are working great.
I am even able to use this app via cellular + VPN to my home audio without skipping.
The only way this app could possibly improve further would the addition of a Mopidy/MPD client via in-app purchase.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the review, it was very helpful! I've just released an update (1.3) which should address both those issues. Please let me know if either one persists.
Best regards,
