Just making sure everybody understands that support services will only work with CA from their respective app on iOS/Android and Web page and not from within LMS. LMS just becomes sort of another cast enable app. The aim is that the Chromecast device receives it stream from LMS direct and not cast from a LMS player casting from an Android or similar devices. > Really, the only question is, whether somebody would be able to bridge > the gap from LMS to Chromecast Audio.

There is no point in expending effort on a system which vendor may abandon (e.g. Logitech and Google TV) so I see no point in rushing. I ( and I think castalla) too have a drawer full of gadget such as Noxon, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Bluetooth adapters, Mini/Stick PCs (Cubiboard, Raspberry Pi, Odroid) as well as refunds from failed projects such as Matchstick and mothballed projects such as Native Client Squeezelite for Chrome. Currently Chromecast Audio has the right combination of price point and features that intrigue me most but it will be a thinking exercise for a while yet. At some point I may delve into Custom Receiver but not within the near future as I have little appetite to learn Javascript. My priority LMS development worry is that BBC will be moving to DASH soon and so have to get LMS prepared for that as well as the chore of moving plugins from Google Code. > I agree about Google adding dlna support btw.

Some 3rd party developer may decide to write a Custom Receiver which implements DLNA but I doubt if it will be Google. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
