The Chrome browser can also cast and that is why I tested porting a Squeezelite player as a Chrome Native native client (i.e. it runs within a Chrome web page tab and same cleint runs on Windows, OSX and Linux - also on Chromebook) - the downside was that the Chrome Audio is limited to 44.1/48. Google "cast" docs can be found here but they are mainly centered around sending audio to a Google Chromecast. https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/ Personally I think Chromecast Audio is dead end for LMS - too much reverse engineering is needed to get a basic solution which can be undone at a stroke by Google. A Pi packaged with a DAC running PicoPlayer is a more maintainable long term solution but it is not a ready neat package for non technical end users. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
