Dear pwt,

Thank you for making this container! I've just tried on my newly arrived Raspberry Pi 4, it works great! But it doesn't recognize my Google Home speakers, which I can use Airconnect commands to activate them on my Mac. I'm wondering will you include the aircast-arm file into this docker container? Thank you very much!

Best, Yi

Hi Yi,

Thanks for your comments.

This container is really intended to be highly optimised for Sonos speakers, which is why aircast is excluded. Also, I have no way of testing aircast myself.

However, I will take a look to see if it can be included as a convenience for users who also have chromecast devices.

I've now added aircast-arm support to the image. To enable it, you need to set INCLUDE_AIRCAST=TRUE when starting the container. See the usage example in the README for details.

This works for me in the sense that the binary is started correctly. However, I have no ChromeCast devices so I can't test its functionality. If you could try it out for me and let me know, that would be great.

Thank you very much pwt! I just tried the new update and it works great with both Sonos and Chromecast speakers! Thanks again!
