I as thinking about that the other day and was wondering if if would be possible. As you know, I've done a CastBridge, which is the "reverse" and I was wondering what piece of the low layer protocol I had to write to talk to a Cast device could not be emulated. I mean: - Player shall be announced by mDNS ==> that I have done alread using my ShairPortW port - Establish a SSH connection with the "emulated" CC - Send a LOAD application request for the default receiver. It's possible to respond to such request positively. Of course, there will be no real "load" done from Google server, but the only objective is to emulate further commands and it seems to be doable - Emulate the CC control interface (protobuf, json and all found here https://github.com/thibauts/node-castv2 and there https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/messages) - Then, because the default receiver just uses plain HTTP to get audio stream, such URL could be passed directly to LMS / the player (ShairPort2W had to implement a airtunes UDP / webserver to serve LMS, but that is un-necessary in this case). Is there something I'm missing like a "true" CC controller authentifies the player with Google in a way that would prevent such "emulator" to work? Then, only controller like the one I write in CastBridge would work? Note that I have *no* intention to implement such software, my plate if already more than full, so it's just a theoritical question:) LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
