Plans for casting to Echo/Alexa? [#15517]

[Ludek]

FYI: Alexa cast protocol doesn't allow to cast directly your MM library on your PC, but you can pair the decice via bluetooth. Then all the audio from your PC plays on the Amazon Echo device (no matter which player you are using on your PC)

Possible solution. Thanks for the suggestion.
If however those devices are located anyware in the house, I doubt that BT will work flawlessly.

OTH, I understand that Amazon did technically restrict the access to their devices and you as the MM developers cannot do anything against this.

So, I will try to pair the nearby Echo device with my PC and see what happens and if this solution is handy enough to set it up for MM playback.

Thanks

Is there any update from the development team on adding support for streaming to Alexa or has anyone found a workaround to stream elsewhere in the home? The distance between my PC to where I want to play the music is too far for Bluetooth.

Hi,
Alexa cast is still not open enough in order to allow direct streaming from local DB.
