catt VS nudedisco

You might want to look into catt for Chromecast:

But I'm not aware of what the equivalent would be for Amazon-type casting

I wrote a wrapper around catt for playing music to my house speaker-groups. It also works with video but I don't use that as often so it might be buggy--better to use catt directly

There might be other apps that effectively do the above, perhaps even streaming the file so you only need to wait for the first part of a file to transcode before it starts playing. I don't use Amazon devices but with Chromecast you can use catt, VLC, and possibly ffmpeg to do this. For example, you can use catt scan to find the IP address and then do vlc --sout '#chromecast' --sout-chromecast-ip=$ip --demux-filter=demux_chromecast --sub-file=my.srt my.mp4. Maybe something similar exists for Amazon.

> "Whatever app I use to play music needs to support chromecast audio."

If you can't find something pre-built that fits your specific needs, you could perhaps "quick and dirty" script yourself up something using "Cast All The Things" [catt@github][0] to talk to your ChromeCast devices, and maybe "Beets" [beets@readthdocs][1] to manage play / playlist commands and management of the music library itself, presuming some Python scripting skills on your part, or a willingness / interest in learning said skills.

CATT (which I wrote) does the same, except it supports whatever site youtube-dl supports (which is basically everything):

I have used catt to control a Chromecast. If Kodi can be made to act like a Chromecast it would work, perhaps there's a plugin for that.

Have you tried https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt ? You can ssh to your pi and cast from the command line, give it a shot!

As much new, diverse music as possible. I built an RSS feed reader for album reviews to escape my self-inflicted Spotify echo chamber and it’s been a lot of fun re-expanding my horizons.

I built an aggregator for new albums, using RSS feeds from a few hand-picked sources:

https://nudedis.co/

Every Friday morning it generates a Spotify playlist using GPT to reduce friction. I find the convenience of Spotify as a discovery tool to be too great to get rid of.

nudedisco is an RSS-powered albums reviews aggregator and playlist I built over the period of a couple of months in order to scratch a personal itch and learn Elixir at the same time. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience working with Elixir and would definitely consider it for future projects.

Hi HN!

nudedisco is a simple album discovery tool I created to aggregate album reviews from a number of my favourite websites and blogs.

As someone who spends most of his professional life working with React and "modern" frontend stacks, it was a lot of fun to go back to basics and create a server-rendered website.

The site uses Elixir under the hood and is deployed to fly.io.

The code is available on my GitHub profile: https://github.com/soulprovidr/nudedisco

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks, and enjoy!
