Is it possible to build an Alexa skill to cast from Symfonium to an Echo speaker?
Not sure whether it’s possible to somehow combine it with Yatse or any generic way to cast Android audio to Alexa Echo speakers, in general.
Problem solved:
Cast music to Alexa Echo speakers without using Bluetooth (which drops out if moving the phone around the house). A cast solution that uses WiFi would work much better.
Brought benefits:
Cast music to Alexa Echo speakers without using Bluetooth.
Other application solutions:
Not sure, maybe Yatse could do it. Or some other generic Alexa skill.
This is not possible, Amazon in the end never released the proper SDKs for that and all solutions some use are hack that can disappear at any moment if Amazon change it’s internal API.
Any benefit to using BubbleUPnP? I’ve seen it mentioned in your Yatse. Why is this stuff so very complicated and confusing? I just want to send some music to a speaker.
This would be a great user feature and a nice selling point for the app, given that Amazon Echo is one of the most omnipresent speakers in many homes nowadays. It looks like Spotify solved this problem, as I can cast music to my Echo speaker directly from the Spotify app, not using Bluetooth. Could something similar be done in Symfonium? Did I say I love the app
+1 from me for this feature.
