| Yamaha WXC-50 (MusicCast) | Partly works | Works as receiver but Optical input not selectable and shows as Napster; no new features plannedSaved copyHi Nitay, Do you think it's possible to add the Optical as inputs? I'm using your amazing Homebridge plugin for a Yamaha WXC-50. The only option to switch it back to Optical is via the Musiccast App or the physical button on the device. When the device is set on Optical, the Homekit detects it as input Napster. Thank you in advance! Excerpt saved from GitHub on 2026-10-22. | Issue #11 · 2024-10 |
