QNAP NAS music Streaming option in Home Assistant

I have a QNAP NAS and I want to be able to stream music from the music directory either via QNAPs streaming or via the DLNA function. Any one have any suggestions?

The purpose is to be able to stream to other locations in the house via the centralized HASS setup.

I was looking at the emby setup:

Example configuration.yaml entry

media_player:

  • platform: emby
    host: 192.168.11.5
    api_key: “emby_api_key”

But i dont think QNAP provides streaming via an API of course. I’m kind of new to this but I didn’t want to have the options to use the qnap and not try it first. I have not had trouble with any other components as of yet.(Knock on wood :slight_smile: )

Looking at Google Play Music Desktop Player:

Example configuration.yaml entry

media_player:

  • platform: gpmdp
    host: IP_ADDRESS

Also I know you can stream google music player from a dedicated desktop, but im not sure what service to try to get this to work in HASS.

Any of you guys assistance woulds surely be appreciated from this great community.

Hello! , since last year have you been able to find a solution? Im also looking for that kind of integration…
