Audio cast idea?

[lcsaszar]

Perhaps this is common knowledge. I would like to play audio from my smartphone or NAS over wifi on a media player, that is driving a DAC and connected to my audio. I have a Raspberry PI, is it suitable? LibreElec or Plex, or whatever. I do not need any fancy GUI, just a very simple control interface on my smartphone: select source/destination and enjoy.

I found the answer myself:

Raspberry Pi: build a remotely controlled Media Center

This is what I have done:

Installed Kodi on Raspberry PI
Installed Yatse on my smartphone

It works (with some hickups on audio). Now I want to open Youtube, so I added it to Kodi. It works (a bit), but the Search fuction is not functional.

I found a workaround: open the Youtube video on the smartphone, and use the Share function: share the link with Yatse. Then it will play on Kodi.
