Do you want to know the technology or the userr experience. For the user experience look at the Chromecast website. Technology - Chromecast is basicall a browser wirh one page - for the normal device it display an image and audio. For chromexast audio - it is audio only. When you cast an application - the phone/tablet tells the chromecast device to play an URL (e.g. youtube video) so chromecast device plays URL directly from internet - phone/table is not involved any more except for control vol up/down, back / forward pause/play. It is easy at the moment to get a Chromecast device to play the LMS http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3 but there are delays so a better solution is needed but technology is not hard - basically pass an URL to the Chromecast device and tell it to start playing the URL. The chromecast devices support flac, aac, mp3, ogg and wav streams. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
