FR: integrate with spotcast #499

Open kongo09 opened 3 years ago

kongo09 commented 3 years ago

As Spotify user with a media_player.spotify configured I would like to use the mini-media-player card for playback control including player selection in order to avoid confusion with the source as exposed by the Spotify integration

The media_player.spotify only shows certain players as a source (i.e. a player / sink for the music). The spotcast integration makes additional Chromecast devices in the network available for use but these don't show as a source. I am aware that I could configure these individually as shortcuts but that leads to a confusing presentation with some sources being available with the source control and some being available as shortcut buttons.

It would be great if the mini-media-player could make use of the cast devices of spotcast when available and present them together with the original source list of the media_player.spotify as a unified source list. Upon selection of one of these sources, the spotcast service might need be called as well for this to work.

I am aware of the old FR #157 but that seems to point into a different direction.

Just wondering if you found a workaround to this? I was thinking maybe adding an input select but then I would still need a button to call the service
