Still needed MusicCast but it controlled my Aventage RX-A680 just fine - still with some minor bugs - however it suddenly disconnected for no apparent reason. I didn't change anything on my wifi. And I've been trying for over 30 minutes to reconnect and I'm physically right at the receiver, but no matter what I do or try, it won't connect anymore. And yes everything is up to date and has been restarted/rebooted multiple times. By year 2024 you figure a huge worldwide tech company would do better

It's rare that value-added apps are any good at doing anything other than wasting space in my phone's memory. And you end up using them once or twice because the company requires it to unlock something in your product or some other nonsense. Plus they're usually trying to up-sell the makers other products. Not this app. It's useful on a regular basis, there's no BS and no ads. Thank you, Yamaha.
