Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select Snapcast.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Playback controls

Snapcast media player entities can expose playback controls for the player providing the currently selected Snapcast stream.

When the stream is configured with a Snapcast control plugin, such as meta_mopidy.py or meta_mpd.py, Home Assistant can provide the playback controls supported by that stream. Depending on the player, these can include play, pause, stop, next track, and previous track.

Streams without playback control support continue to provide the standard Snapcast volume, source selection, and grouping controls.
