Featured services of Media-Update?
Peao

Update 20.01.17:
Emile stated in the software-status thread: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1430/software-status#latest:
"From the start, Sonos and Heos will be supported as speakers, and SoundCloud, Google Play Music and YouTube as players. There will be a Spotify app, but for now it will only work with a Sonos speaker that has a Spotify account connected already."
Hey, since the media update is comming soon, I thought it would be nice to have a official confirmed list for all services (sources (eg. Spotify) and outputs (e.g. Sonos)) that will be featured at release and if not a short update to their current status and maybe a ETA.
Maybe could @Annemarie give us a update and can confirm some of these in updates mentioned features.
Confirmed? (feaured at release):
Sources:
- SoundCloud
- Tidal
- Youtube
Outputs:
- Sonos
- Denon Heos
- Bluetooth
- Line-Out
Unconfirmed:
Sources:
- Spotify (waiting for 3rd Party since Jan/2016)
- Deezer (waiting for 3rd Party since Mar/2016)
- Local Sources (e.g. NAS) (Athom stated: "maybe")
- Google Music
- TuneIn
- iTunes
Outputs:
- Chromecast (they're working on it but no ETA) (licensing?)
- AirPlay (licensing?)
I hope we can get some more information, this could help to prevent disappointments

But for your current needs maybe the Plex App or the Itunes app in the Appstore could help you. I am not using these apps so I am not fully aware of their capabilities.
I will add it to the unconfirmed list.
- https://apps.athom.com/app/com.apple.itunes
- Same for Chromecast: https://apps.athom.com/app/com.google.chromecast
That would be a great feature!!
For example: it is possible to play a Sonos playlist via a http-get (and thus it is possible to implement this in the Sonos app). It is also possible to add Spotify songs to the Sonos playlist. This makes it possible to play Spotify with Sonos (via this workaround). This doesn't mean it is possible to play Spotify with the other outputs.
I think some inputs and outputs depends on the implementation in the general Homey Music app or the implementation in specific apps.
https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/6830/#Comment_6830 (Its an indirect answer to your question)
The chromecast app is currently developed by athom and there is no information available ,yet. So I doubt it will be featured at release of media.
I will add Itunes to the unconfirmed list, maybe could @DennieDeGroot share his plans with us if the media update is released.
Really missing this app!
(@santor)
And athom even said that maybe Sonos (etc) wouldn't be fully ready on release (even though that was a statement from last year)
We are WAY too excited in this topic of what is about to come in the media update.
Please dim down your expectations as of in this topic it is too high.
And sure we can offer all the options that are out there.. But most stuff on the unconfirmed list (and more) will probably be done by community.
My intention was to collect all officialy confirmed features and get them confirmed again because we all know how fast things can change. So this topic should cause the opposite of a hype, but with no official answer it doesn't help anyway.
It was ment to be a little help for athom to pour oil on troubled waters even before the waters become troubled
Nothing is confirmed until @athom releases the new media enabled firmware... So also collecting 'scattered' intel has no added value .... just my 2 cents
If it doesn't help you than this topic isn't meant for you.

In this case the Media-Update support will be for 99% on the community side. His thread is the best place to ask : https://forum.athom.com/discussion/1424/published-squeezebox-app
Looking forward for this firmware-update !
