Add cast features (chromecast...) #1536

Open SeeDborg opened 10 months ago

SeeDborg commented 10 months ago

Hi, I love your app and I would love to be able to cast the music on my chromecast devices on the network.

Would it be possible to implement it ?

Regards.

This has been raised a long time ago in #318 , but I never got around to implementing it. Do you need a special device to test it? I remember using an emulator then, but I don't know if anything's changed.

Any Google Home should do it.

This software might help, acting as quite accurate "emulator"

It has a full featured trial
I dare to assume friendly response from Reykjavík (where the guys behind the AirServer are located) if you ask them for freebie.

Also there is quite an ecosystem here on Github around Chromecast. It might be worth taking a look at it before getting in.

PS: I would not linger in providing you more help then these hints, yet I currently may not do so.
