Hi, First thanks for a great plugin Philippe which I've just discovered now I have a Google Home device and Chromecast :)
I also use Homeseer for home automation which has a ChromeCast plugin - this is able to view the meta data and status of each chromecast on the network. When I play music from Spotify I can see in Homeseer that the Application meta field changes to Spotify, the Status changes from Idle to Play, and the Album and Title fields get populated. I also get the album artwork sent (must be a URL). The same meta data is sent to the chromecast with music playback from Amazon Music or Plex too. When I play from Squeezebox to the chromecast the Application meta changes to 'Default Media Receiver' but Status remains as Idle, and no track data is sent when the music plays. If I could see the status change to 'Playing' for a squeezebox stream I would be able to trigger events in Homeseer such as powering on my amplifier etc when playback starts, but without this data I cant :( Is it possible to send the track and playback status from the LMS to the chromecast? Could the application name be changed to something more meaningful too? Many thanks in advance, Rob. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rgoovyrob's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66013 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104614 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
