YCast

Post by mitch6969 »

Howdy all,
I'm wondering if someone out there can answer a question for me.
Is it possible/feasible to install YCast (https://github.com/milaq/YCast) on the QNAP?

Some background.
YCast is a service that points devices to internet radio stations (as best I understand it)
I have a Yamaha amp and until this year it used that service to connect to said internet radio stations.
Yamaha have since discontinued using YCast in favour of some other service thus rendering that function on the amp as useless.

Some bright spark (Mr Milaq) has written a python script to 'self-host' this service, as in the URL above.

I would like to install this on my TS-212 and point my amp at it to reinstate internet radio but I have no idea if/how to go about it.
So, before I go off on a lengthy self-training session I thought I'd ask The Crowd if I would be wasting my time.

Any thoughts, suggestions, dummies guide, greatly appreciated.

Ta.

send a message to qnap_stephane (qoolbox via qnapclub..this forum does not support pm)

with a newer nas you could do this easily via vm or container

No response from Qoolbox.....maybe I sent the message incorrectly?
Not to worry. I'll see if I can figure it out myself

@mitch6969 - if you make any progress, would you mind posting back here? I am one of the abandoned Marantz users and would like to see if I can solve it with Ycast.
