Bluesound

Music Assistant has support for Bluesound (BlueOS) based devices. This component is contributed and maintained by Cyanogenbot.

Features

• Bluesound devices are auto detected by Music Assistant

Configuration

1. In Music Assistant, go to Settings → Player Providers, click Add a player provider and select Bluesound.
2. Your Bluesound devices will be discovered automatically and will appear in the player list, usually within a minute.

If a device does not appear, work through the discovery checklist.

Settings

Refer to the Player Provider Settings when setting up this provider as it has no unique settings at the provider level.

Bluesound players use the standard Individual Player Settings, including the settings shared by most protocols. These differ on BluOS:

• Sample rates supported by this player. Everything up to 192 kHz / 24 bit is selected by default, rather than only 44.1 kHz / 16 bit and 48 kHz / 16 bit. Remove the higher ones if your player cannot manage them
• Try to inject metadata into stream (ICY). Defaults to Profile 2 - full info, rather than being off as it is elsewhere

Known Issues / Notes

• Alternative inputs might not be detected
• Album covers are not visible in the Bluesound app or on devices that have a screen due to limitations in the API

Not Yet Supported

• Announcements
• Synchronised playback
