Feature requeat:

Adding a function like pychromecast to Discover and play the http stream to a chromecast device

Currently i am using a Python program thats starts after swyh to play to chronecast. I think an Integration would be perfect.

Thanks

Actually there is a solution to use it with a chromecast: emulate a chromecast as UPnP renderer through BubbleUPnP server.
It works with swyh-rs but not with swyh 1.5.
The developper of swyh-rs found a workaround to make it work with BubbleUPnP, so it could be the same with the original swyh!

Thank you thank you for mentioning swyh-rs @resom78 ! I managed to get swyh 1.5 to sort of work in mode 10 by either hitting the LinkPlay api on my Creative Nova speakers or using the app to request a DLNA stream, but I had to reduce the bitrate way down and it still popped and lagged. swyh-rs discovers my speakers no problem and plays with no horrid popping noises.
