This isn't really possible. If you want to use Plexamp to play to Plexamp headless speakers, then you don't need Music Assistant. I am working on an player provider to have Music Assistant be able to play TO Plexamp headless devices. This will be released soon. But this won't enable Plexamp app --> Music Assistant Speaker. It is Music Assistant --> Plexamp headless. |

As ovizii already pointed out, the effort to get a non plex client to be recognized as a casting target was already successfully achieved by https://github.com/songchenwen/plexdlnaplayer So the chance of getting this worked into music assistant is higher than assumed, as the code doesnt seem to be proprietary. |

Apart from the Spotify Connect plugin, it seems like Music Assistant wants to be the “master” as in directing audio streams and not receiving audio streams. I mean fair enough but it's a pity. It would be really nice to be able to stream from Plexamp on my phone to MA and a specific player or playing local music files on my phone and stream them to MA. On the other hand, if that is not a direction MA wants to take, fair enough. |

While I really enjoy using Music Assistant—and now that we have Spotify Connect—it’s still a bit of a shame that Plexamp Headless is not available yet as a plugin provider. The UI of Music Assistant is definitely improving, but to be fair, nothing currently comes close to the Plexamp mobile experience. It would be amazing if Music Assistant players could function as headless Plexamp receivers.
Sure, we can stream our Plex library through Music Assistant, but it’s just not the same as casting directly from the Plexamp app. The mobile experience is truly exceptional.
I’d be very grateful if Plexamp Headless could be implemented as a plugin provider, allowing all players to act as headless receivers for Plexamp, just as with Spotify Connect. I don’t have the technical knowledge to say how feasible that is—it sounds simple in theory, but I imagine there are many technical details I might be overlooking that could make implementation more complex.
Keep up the great work!
