Again, i am trying to tinker with my system…
since right now there is no way to play a Spotify stream on a Chromecast Audio device that wasnt running before i am thinking of hacking my way to success…
So the idea is basically this:
- Get Spotify Connect running on RasPi
- Get Chromecast to work with the RasPi
- Use Snapcast or maybe a different solution to stream the audio being played from the RasPi to the Chromecasts using ALSA
Background:
I’d like to achieve a solution where i can initiate and controll the Music via Spotify Connect and manually select where the music is played. i.e.: The Stream is running and i can manually add or remove a room from the mutlitroom synchronized stream.
Before getting started and spending WAY TOO MUCH time in figuring out the above setup… is there anyone who has done something similar and can give me some pointers?
I have already tried LMS… but spotify connect is in a very beta state and doesnt work reliable. On top the LMS UI is very slow running on my RasPi.
