Prayer & Adhan

It knows the times, lowers the music, plays the adhan.

Set it once. Sama3 runs the whole prayer routine on its own, on every output you have.

🕌 Accurate times

13 calculation methods, Shafi/Hanafi (Asr)
High-latitude & Moonsighting rules
Per-prayer, per-weekday schedule
Internet time sync with live drift indicator

🔉 Per-prayer behaviour

Just lower/pause the music, or play a full adhan and resume
A different adhan file per prayer
Adhan cleanly ducks the music on every output
One master switch for all prayer handling

🌙 Calendar & resilience

Hijri date on the dashboard
Ramadan Imsak (sehri) & Iftar times
Never misses a resume — survives power cuts
Starts on boot, fully headless

Sources

Play from almost anything.

Pick one program source; Sama3 pauses and resumes it for every prayer.

Soundtrack Your Brand	Your licensed business-music zones — Sama3 pauses/resumes them for prayer.

MP3 and WAV play natively; the rest play via built-in conversion.

On the network

Take over the speakers — or be the music server.

Guests stream from their phone and your main music returns when they stop. The adhan always wins.

📱 Stream from your phone

AirPlay — iPhone, iPad, Mac
Bluetooth^* — automatic pairing, no PIN
DLNA "Cast" — BubbleUPnP, Hi-Fi Cast, VLC, Windows
AES67 — receive a professional networked-audio stream

When a guest stops, your main source comes back automatically.

🗂️ Sama3 as a music server

A DLNA/UPnP media server — your library appears in the HEOS app, Sonos, smart TVs, any DLNA app
Built-in file manager like a NAS: nested folders, upload, rename, move, delete — all from the web page
Instant seeking, broad device compatibility

Control your other players

Drive your Denon, Marantz, Sonos & more.

Sama3 discovers the players on your network over UPnP/DLNA and the Denon/Marantz HEOS protocol — and each one works in one of two modes.

Interrupt

The player keeps playing its own content. At prayer time Sama3 pauses it, plays the adhan through it, and restores it — UPnP players resume the exact track and position; HEOS players resume their saved queue or station.

Output

The player continuously plays Sama3's mix — radio, Soundtrack, Spotify, playlists, plus the adhan. Change the source on Sama3 and the player keeps up. Send to several at once; mute the box's own speakers for an echo-free setup.

Output & pro AV

From line-out to pro network audio.

Per-source volume, a master level, and a clean adhan overlay on every output — glitch-free on any sound card.
