Doesn't work out of the box at all. Good luck. Seriously, I can write a server that receives commands to play back music files probably within an hour, maybe even less. It is not that difficult. Considering that it puzzles me how one managed to screw this up so much

Great to run a headless music player. In my case it runs on my server and delivers audio via HDMI to the amplifier.
