Yamaha Musiccast device setup
asked 2020-06-10 14:40:33 +0200
Has anyone had any success in configuring a Yamaha Musiccast speaker with their controller Android app? The procedure requires me to connect my phone to an ad-hoc network MusicCastSetup that the speaker creates after pressing a certain button. On my Xperia X I can connect to that network with native Sailfish networking rather than with the Android Wi-Fi settings, but then the Android app does not detect my speaker and the procedure does not continue. Some screenshots below. Any ideas? Maybe this requires interacting with Android Wi-Fi settings in a way that is just not supported on Aliendalvik.
I could set up the Yamaha android app with both an Xperia X and X10+ but I did it first a long time ago so maybe it has become more complicated to initiate installation for the first time? It still works for sure. I cannot remember what I did exactly but I do remember that it was easy and flawless. I am using it with a YSP-2700... Sorry for a not very helpful comment :P

Maybe you first configured it from an Android phone, and then when it's on the network it can be connected also to a Sailfish phone? Do you remember if you connected it to an Android phone on the same network before using a Sailfish one?
