Wonky, may be retried later
Azuracast is available at hack-radio.local on the hackerspace network, with login details in hackerpass.
Player + Song Requests | On-demand
The stream URL can be found on the player page. The radio is also connected to a dedicated channel on the mixer, shall this be desired.
It should be possible to hook this up in HomeAssistant, for seamless integration with the Chromecasts. This has not been done yet.
Azuracast allows for idle playlists, on-demand music, and music queueing. It is also possible to cast from external software through Icecast and more.
This is currently a test solution to see if Azurecast is a sufficient solution as a “multiplayer” media player. Contact 404'd if you're interested in fiddling around under the hood.
Casting
There are three Chromecasts in the Hackerspace:
- Hackeriet, which is connected to the audio mixer
- Den TV, which is connected to the TV by the project table/leather couch
- Pinball TV, which is connected to the TV by the pinball machines/textile couches
- ???, which is connected to the projector
Home Assistant acts as an AirPlay bridge, proxying traffic from iOS and Mac devices towards the Chromecasts
