Chromecast support

Open willhoyle opened this issue 6 years ago • 2 comments

I know I can just cast the whole tab but it would be nice to be able to have native chromecast capabilities which would allow play, pause, next, prev, etc from any device that has access to the cast.

I'd be open to working with anyone to introduce this feature/enhancement. I have JS experience but I've never built anything for the cast.

You could give this a try and see if it'll work: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-cast

It looks fairly simple to throw in there just to see if the actual audio will cast as you expect. Once you verify that it works with the DRM scheme on the audio stream, then the UI and a proper chromecast patch can be worked on and added. I don't have anything to test with it though, so it'd have to be someone with a chromecast device to really test that out.

Hi - I’m not computer savvy - but is it possible for you to build a Volumio plug-in? This would really be awesome!!!
