Can you set the log level to debug and try again? Just paste the part of the log that has "cast:", so I can see what is being communicated with...

Ok, we'll have to close the issue then. I have added some clearer logging in case it happens again.

Ok, seems to confirm that the device doesn't launch the app. Could you install the Chromium browser and test if you are able to stream a youtube video from that...

Chromium, not Chrome. There are different ways of casting, I don't know what Chrome and Plex uses, they are both closed source. forked-daapd should use the same as Chromium.

Ok, I'll reopen the issue. I can't think of a way to proceed without the device, so let's see if I can get hold of one. It would be interesting...

No it would encrypted. I think it would need to be via Chromium. Maybe if it has a debug mode where it dumps the traffic?

I have now tested with a Nest Hub, but it didn't give any clues since it worked ok. Maybe it was another version or something.

Thanks for the input. Do you have examples of https streams? @chme guess this is also for you. Maybe some of it is actually already supported?

@ski522 forked-daapd should support https now (from version 27.0), but I see the particular stream you have linked to does not work. I'm not sure why, other than ffmpeg complaining...

Certainly would be an interesting feature. It would mean that a user like me, which has both local music (+ radio) and Spotify, would need to use two clients. Personally,...
