Thanks for this idea! I have configured the players in my A/V room and
bedroom to sync with their local Castbridge players and it works like a
charm without any transcoding in the plugin, albeit at the expense of
doubling the network traffic. However, because I am running LMS, the
plugin, and all the players on an old RPi B+, choosing the option to
transcode to mp3 in the plugin results in excessive cpu usage and
resultant hiccups and delays in the player audio. As always, there is a
tradeoff in resource consumption and, in my case, I have more available
bandwidth than I do cpu. Since we are not actually using the CC audio in
this scenario, I wonder if it would be possible to provide an option to
not send an audio stream from the plugin at all --- only the metadata.
Maybe a transcode format of 'Null'? I have no idea if it is possible but
it would solve the problem of having to choose between wasting bandwidth
or cpu when using the plugin in this way.
