You are casting from the phone so this means the phone battery will run down quite quickly. A better long term would be for the CCA to get its stream from LMS direct to CCA - this would also enable 96kHz streams to be sent to CCA. > Casting a tab from the Chrome browser to a CCA device also works very > well, which made had me wondering about the possibility of running > squeezelite in a browser tab.. Casting a tab requires using the HTML5 Audio subsystem - squeezelite would need to be rewrittein in html/Javascript to run in a tab and even then web security regarding sockets would mean a shim layer or tunnelling could be needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
