As I understand it ReplayGain works as long as you stream data to
Chromecast as PCM (i.e uncompressed). Gapless is in the hands of Google
and currently is not supported for streaming from third party devices.
This may have changed but like you, I don't have the time to read every
post in this
Just skimmed thread. Interested in possibly replacing my Duet with a
CCA. CastBridge looks promising. So, gapless & replay gain are working?
Also, plugins like Rhapsody and Sirius which currently don't work with

OK, got a regular (HDMI dongle) Chromecast and hooked it up to my
Synology NAS. Installed the plugin on LMS and it works great - I can
stream my music to the Chromecast and it essentially functions like a
Squeezebox Receiver would. Even many streaming Tunein stations will
work (but not all).

According to the ifixit site (
Android apps updated to 1.13.13 and CCA firmware also updated to
1.17a.49061 and multi room is working and it is quite good.
Except for iOS - Reference API documents seem to be out of date.
There is a group delay correction setting in the App but AFAICT no
documentation for it in the API
