I was really hoping chromecast would be as good - so far its caused more issues but the sound is great which is what matters in the end (while it works!) That works great, but only if you are on macOS / iOS. I’ve been using Airplay for many many years for wireless music, ever since the first gen Airport Express. I’ll keep the HiFi Cast app around as a backup, but looks like I can commit to using Plex now (and either buy the app or pay for the plex premium)… I’m hoping this keeps working, I didnt do anything differently to last time. Clicking that link went through the setup process again (which I did a few months ago) and lo and behold, now the Qb2 shows up as a speaker in plex!! I was just looking at the app while writing this reply and saw a “set up Qb2” text link at the top of the Home app, even though it was already visible. I went back to the google home app and the Qb certainly shows up with a different icon to the chromecast audio. I was hoping Plex would be the best way to “serve” the music round the house, as mentioned before because it fills in missing artwork and is smart enough to spot duplicated artists in the metadata (which are offered as two separate artists with UPnP). I use “Hi-Fi Cast” app on android with the UPnP which works much better for searching and browsing (and works for casting). Filtering does work to find things, but is very clunky: you have to already be in the album folder to filter/search for an album by name.
I’ve actually got two UPnP servers running on my NAS, and the Naim app can pick one to browse. The android Plex app can only chromecast and the Qb2 isnt visible at all.
The iOS Plex can do chromecast and airplay, but the Qb2 only shows up as an option for airplay.
Airplay and Chromecasting happens totally from whatever phone / ipad etc running the app. I’m not using Plex inside the Naim app, which I only use for firing up internet radio. Re: nitrous: No expert here either, just blundering around and taking a long time to test and troubleshoot things.
