Bram Diederik aka daft_dutch@lx does snapcast have a iphone app. What self respected do it your selfer uses iphone anyway.
ahoyboyhoy@bdiederik @lx snapcast is designed for LAN streaming to multiple speakers or groups of speakers in sync. It also requires a music source like Navidrome writing to a fifo file. Not what I'd recommend here
@ahoyboyhoy @lx works fine on my android over a vpn on the road
@bdiederik @lx oh really? You don't experience constant dropouts? I couldn't keep a stable signal over a single WiFi hop at home with < 1% packet loss.
@ahoyboyhoy @lx sometimes not constant. Cant use it when moving to fast
@bdiederik @lx the other disqualifer for me is that I prefer to download my music for offline playback and then sync over WiFi because I pay for data usage. I understand many have unlimited data though. This is another reason I use Subsonic clients (DSub primarily, looking Tempo lately).
