Hey Evan,

just an idea... maybe it's possible to include Spotify (which is OpenSource!?) via VoiceRecognation...

Dude! Awesome work you have done! Putting it all over here, you are the real MVP!!

I'm looking at having some music integration. I currently use Chromecast for all of the audio/video in my room, but there are certain restrictions for the Chrome extension that make this impossible(?)

Namely there is no way to dynamically pick a Receiver to cast to (the current version of the Chromecast Extension handles this selection, all you can give it is a callback). If anyone knows how to sneak around this please let me know!

In case you are still curious, I'm working on a solution to this issue: express-cast

This will expose Chromecast functionality over HTTP on your local network making it possible for the mirror to give commands to Chromecast (indirectly). It's still a work in progress though and I haven't quite mastered the dark arts of the CASTV2 protocol.
