I'm talking about streaming from your own source to the Chromecast hardware - e.g. you can do it via an app on the phone or a Chrome browser tab. Surely the protocol to just send your own audio to the unit is open? And for internet streaming services, the cloud source talks directly to the Chromecast when it's playing so all that LMS would have to do is set up the link in the first place. It would never actually handle the audio stream, it's just a broker. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimfast's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29669 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104383 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
