I am starting experimenting with this on dev/chromecast
.
Nothing works at the moment (!), just showing the cast button that sends no media to be cast, and a beginning of flavors management to be able to build separate versions of Otter (with and without Google blobs).
This will be quite a long and complex endeavor, so do not get your hopes up just yet. :smile:
A good beginning is half the work, as we say in Dutch ;)
My prototype is making progress, queue replication, media playback and basic playback controls work mostly OK.
Queue synchronization over time (reordering, insertion, deletion) and behavior on connect / reconnect / disconnect is hit and miss and I need to put out a lot more work on that.
But the gist of the feature is here and works. So, as you said, progress!
Is there anything to support getting this feature ready?
I'm happy to test build this and run/debug it locally here. Otter is such a great player frontend for Funkwhale, with Chromecast support this entire setup would just be about perfect for me :D
I realise it's already on the roadmap, but I just had to create an issue for it to show my support and enthusiasm for your work and this feature in particular - hoping also that others would/will support the support for Chromecast, too.
This app with Chromecast + Funkwhale homeserver will be a killer combo for making my parents' CD collection easily accessible digitally to them (and also myself).
