FR: integrate with spotcast
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
