A the continuation of this thread: desktop GUI/VNC log in issue as it had strayed from the original topic.
It is not an issue as such, rather a request for suggestions from any one who may be knowledgeable on the issues involved.
I should also state that I am aware that there already exist alternative ways of doing what I am asking about (some of which I have tried and use), what I am looking for is a simpler, more streamlined and potentially better sounding way of achieving it.
I have a PC in front of me on which I use the moOde interface to control music played from a Pi wired to an audio system. Much of the time that is web radio.
I also have JRMC on the PC and use that to stream music stored on the PC to the Pi as a UPnP endpoint.
I also run chromium as a browser on the Pi itself (no desktop environment, launched from a terminal) and view it via VNC (I find this more stable than XMing).
The browser on the Pi is so that I can use catch-up radio and Bandcamp without needing to use eg. a phone/bluetooth/airplay.
The audio from the browser does not go via moOde however, it is handled by ALSA.
So the question: can I get the audio from chromium to go via moOde instead?
I have also recently started using Qobuz again and have been reading the various ways that users are finding to handle that now, including installing Bubble server on the Pi.
I am currently switching between BubbleUPnP on Android as a control point and using the Qobuz browser player via VNC on the Pi. As before, I still prefer to leave the phone out of the chain and stick with the wired PC/Pi option where possible.
If Windows would allow me to select moOde as a UPnP endpont in the way that JRMC does then that would be good, but last time I looked it was Windows that made that one difficult.
Thank you.
