Support Nymphcast #387

Open MayeulC opened 2 years ago

MayeulC commented 2 years ago

While chromecast are being pushed hard by google and are easy to find, the protocol is proprietary, which prevents you from implementing a server on your own hardware.

Nymphcast (also here: https://github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast ) is an open protocol aiming at replicating the functionality of chromecast. It would be nice if catt could send media to a NymphCast server.

That looks interesting, how much support is there for this in devices?

MayeulC commented 2 years ago

Not much AFAIK. Currently, this is aimed at DIY projects. However, the protocol and implementation being open, this should be easier to support than chromecast.

Maybe the feature request belongs in pychromecast?

skorokithakis commented 2 years ago

Possibly, I don't know what they might want to do. I'd be open to a PR that implemented some compatibility, if it didn't make the code harder to maintain.
