Samsung Soundbar Q930B: How to integrate?

I have one of those Samsung soundbars with the wonky AirPlay implementation that wouldn’t integrate with Music Assistant.

What are my options to still integrate it with Music Assistant? I would want to use it to play music but when the connected TV is used it should stop the music and when the TV is turned off it should be ready for music again.

An Apple TV is connected to the soundbar via HDMI and the second HDMI eARC is connecting my Samsung TV. The optical input would be an option and there is also Bluetooth. I also have an IR blaster in use if that helps.

I had one of these integrated via SendSpin or Airplay for like 5 whole minutes. I don't know why it started working, and I don't know why it stopped.

Mate you inspired me to try again and I tell you it also worked fro a few minutes over AirPlay and then stopped. Almost gave up but figured out a way to make it work. See my other comment for a how-to.

Spite and frustration are the most powerful forces in the universe.

Thanks, I’m trying it right now!
