Stupid question--Casting to Amp Pro from iPhone without AirPlay

[Wiimer]

I've did other searches and it seems it's not possible at this time to Cast with an iPhone just the audio from YouTube(not YT Music) to the Wiim Ultra. YT does not show up on the Home app.

Tap Ultra in the device menu of the Google home app and you will see a screen like this: Tap "Cast audio" to connect your phone to Ultra.


(Sorry, not English)


Then simply play the youtube video. No need to cast with Youtube app. This way you can play audio from any app.
I think it can be done on iOS as well.

However, there should be less delay with Bluetooth than Chromecast.

When I get to that screen, there is no "Cast Audio" option to tap. Under the volume circle where it lists my Ultra it only says "Not Playing".

Sorry, then maybe it can't be done on iOS...

It is not available in iOS.

Well here’s another dumb question, which I hope isn’t out of place in the stupid question thread. There are a bunch of USB devices that seem to be geared toward Car Play users that will allow you to connect wirelessly. It looks like it plugs into the car’s USB port, and your iPhone then connects to it, I believe by Air Play. Would something like that work in the USB port of the Amp Pro?

No, I understand those devices replace a wired iPhone connection to your car’s CarPlay system by a wireless connection. The usb input to an Amp Pro is for usb storage only.
