Chromecast audio

[Edward]

Here is another Chromecast developers link with instructions for 'anyone' to apply and build apps/sofware to use Chromecast.

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/caf_receiver/

Don't know how difficult this might be, but Google tends to do a good job at setting up dev's for success.  This addition would solve pretty much all the issues with connecting to pretty much all music services. Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz etc all have Chromecast support.


Might be worth a second look?

Fortunately, we already have support for Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Google Play Music in the form of third-party projects librespot and upmpdcli. 

Good thing, 'cuz nothing about the referenced material suggests this would be a cake walk. If it were, we'd already see third-party Chromecast receiver projects we could consider integrating.

Just my two cents worth.

True librespot for Spotify seems pretty solid, but upmpdli is not an elegant approach and needs another app like Bubbleupnp

I agree it doesn't seem like a cake-walk but then a few second glance might not tell the whole story.


Either way, no harm in asking...for a new feature in a feature request thread right.
