@bpa Thanks for your analysis. I think "Casting" from LMS to Chromecast Audio is the only thing that makes sense. The "point" of it would be a) Having cheap, compact and high-quality SB Hardware b) Having a solution for streaming services that LMS does not fully support (like Google Music)
About the advantages of LMS ovet CC: At the current time LMS is much nicer and easier to use, since the Server-Client Setup offers a number of advantages over the Smartphone-CC approach. To get music playing it currently takes quite a few action for Chromecast, while LMS needs just one. This might change over time. Sync will probably be a problem with LMS - CC implementation, just like with Squeeze2upnp, so if that's your main target, then this is probably not for you. However, Multiroom functionality for CC is currently almost nonexistent, and it is unclear how Google plans to implement it without some type of "Server" in the setup. Currently the best you get it multiple CC devices playing the same radio/stream, but no differet zones, grouping and ungrouping, stereo pairs, surround setups etc. CC for Audio is still in early stages, and will likely only show it's true potential in a few months...or not... 😉 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CommanderROR's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
