Hi Rudy, I found your project on LoxForum and did a test installation.
MusicAssistant as a provider with various plugins.
Everything is working great so far, but there are a few minor issues.

First of all, it would be great if you could make the audio server serial editable.
I have more than 10 zones running with Sonos, and one server is no longer enough. With two instances with different IPs, two servers are recognized, but configuring everything to see if it works was too much for me to test.
Because -->
I can't address the individual players via SetFavorite. This means that I have created favorites and address the stations/playlists with their respective IDs (as was also possible with the old MusicServer).
That is, 1 for the first favorite, 2 for the second, and so on.
I have also integrated Soundcloud with Spotify and TuneIn and have to say that MusicFiles can be found there too. Only the playback here is a bit jerky, but it works. Maybe you can find a solution here to fix both problems.

By the Way, if i stay in the Docker System, how much Ram for each container should i adress?

By, Lee

Yes I will look into this. Already thought about making the server in a way that it can emulate multiple servers in the same instance.

However .... the current server allows for up to 24 zones. If you split al stereo outputs you can get 4 zones from the server and another 20 from the extensions. (2 per extensions with a maximum of 10 extensions). Do you really need that much? 😅

But how do you define a Zone? There are Stereo (need both channels of a Extension) and mono.
I have 10 Stereo Zones (10 Extensions) and5 Mono. That exceeds the capability of one Server.

Just ignore stereo/mono naming in loxone. This is only true for a real Loxone server, not for our emulation
Split everything and you will have 24 zones when you add 10 extensions.

Music Assistant will just send a stereo signal (or whatever your source is) to your zone.

Your favorites issues should now work in the latest 3.0.0 release. Please start with a fresh config and let me know the results.

Should be the same as https://github.com/rudyberends/lox-audioserver/issues/44#issuecomment-3429351537, and that works now.
