I started using the dashticz screen a while ago, and missed an easy way to cast directly to my chromecast audio. So I created a module, highly inspired by the streamplayer that is already integrated (it uses even the same streams from the config)
It looks like this:

The play button is changed to the default cast button from google. When clicking on it, the default casting screen from chrome pops up, where you can select the available chromecasts in your network. The arrows on the left let you select the streams, on the right side the volume buttons are available.
The block is available as 'chromecast' in the config, for example
Code: Select all
columns[3]['blocks'] = ['chromecast'];
The code is available on github:

Rob, I can make a pull request to integrate it, just let me know. It might need some tweaks for the sizes of the elements, since I use dashticz in portrait, so only one column.
