how would this be installed on hassbian opposed to the hass.io plugin?

frenck · August 15, 2018, 5:23pm

Add-ons is an Hassio feature and cannot be used with other installation methods.

That’s a real shame hassbian is the only way I can get SSH commands to work with private key authentication but this is the best plugin out there imho

frenck · August 15, 2018, 8:01pm

You don’t need Hassbian for that… that can be done on Hassio as well. But that is a little off topic. There are peeps on Discord that could help you.

coalfield · August 15, 2018, 8:14pm

thanks for the pointer I will try again with disord but have another thread if you can spare the time:

Is it possible (or is it on the roadmap) to add the local sound device as an output? That is, add an additional cast player for the ALSA or pulseaudio device on the pi?

Would love to be able to use my HassIO pi as a shairport target, but haven’t managed to wrap my head around putting that into an add-on.

daneboom · November 13, 2018, 2:28pm

Is it possible to use this as essentially one would use forked-daapd?

tom_l · November 13, 2018, 3:27pm

No.

Forked-daapd is a media player that can connect to AirPlay or Chromecast devices to stream audio.

This addon makes Chromecast devices look like AirPlay devices so that media players that only support AirPlay can stream to Chromecast devices.

It’s not actually a media player.

Haavardnk · November 20, 2018, 11:51am

Hi, im just wondering if it is possible to make an opposite version of this addon? To be able to stream to airplay devices from android using a virtual chromecast device for each airplay device

frenck · November 21, 2018, 7:13pm

No that is current impossible… unless someone would be able to hack/reverse engineer the chromecast server part…

Petrica · November 22, 2018, 10:25am

Hi @frenck,

Would it be possible to make BubbleUpnp Server as a Hassio addon (so that it would proxyfi Chromecasts/Cast Groups as UPNP/OpenHome devices)? There is also Docker version in addition to classic OSs installs.

Windows users (all five of them ) could then use cast to Chromecast straight from shell.

Works fine for me (PI3+). What about support for AirPlay 2.0? Would that be possible? This would allow me to ask Siri to play to the speaker.
