Hi; does anybody know if there's any way to cast music from the Google Music app on Android to Kodi (or any other Linux app for that matter)? I know Kodi has a Google Music addon, but I'd much rather use the Google Music app for my specific use case.

I'm aware the Chromecast protocol has changed to become more restricted than it used to be, but when I start Google Music on my phone, I see it broadcasts something that looks like discovery packets for two protocols: one looks Chromecast-specific, but the second one looks generic UPnP:

I'm not sure what "urn:smartspeaker-audio:service:SpeakerGroup" is, there's not much info out there about it, but it looks somehow related to Sonos wireless speakers. I don't have such device, but I guess Google Music is able to cast with UPnP to a Sonos speaker? And if that's the case, would Kodi be able to act as a Sonos speaker so Google Music can cast to it?

Objective: Understanding how to confirm DTS-HD MA as output, when receiver doesn’t show.

Hi all

I have always been streaming DTS core from my samsung TV to my LG 9.1 setup (model BH9530TW), [LINK: http://www.lg.com/au/home-theatre-systems/lg-BH9530TW] which gives an incredible immerstive surround sound experience.

However, when playing blu-ray movies the sound has just always been another level, as the system can play DTS-HD MA etc. (lossless formats), so the other day I downloaded Kodi to try streaming the DTS-HD MA formats to the system. LG has confirmed that streaming this format to the device is possible (I asked in an email). However the device shows the same (D3-2.1) whatever it receives DTS core or HD-MA.

As with the Blu-rays, streaming from the PC via HDMI is just another level of sound, in particular the allocation of sound is much much better. Now, I suspect some of the reason being that my PC (Zenbook UX303LN) [LINK: https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/ASUS-ZenB...ications/] together with Kodi allocates the sound significantly better than my Samsung TV because I guess the allocation should not change, right? I think Samsung might be cutting some corners to make it work.

Anyhow, my question is the following: Since my receiver does not let me know if it receives DTS core or DTS-HD-MA, is there a way to check the output stream rate through Kodi? Kodi does display the DTS-HD-MA icon, but it also does that when I play it on my PC so that is not of much use.

Another problem that I have as well is that when I set my Sound properties in Windows 10 to 24bit, 96000HZ then Kodi does not output sound (but VLC does). However when I use 24bit and 48000HZ Kodi works fine. I tried to change the Kodi audio setting to “fixed” but it doesn’t change anything. Anyways, that was just a side track question.

If you guys can help me with the output identification part I would be greatly thankful.

Kind Regards,
Peter

Hi everyone,

The official Kodi remote doesn´t find Kodi on the network. BUT if go to Safari and the type http://username:[email protected]:9090 I access the web interface remote and it works just fine.

Anyone have an idea what might be causing this problem for me?

The remote used to work for me but I don´t know when it stopped working since I used wireless keyboard for a time to controll Kodi. I have done a Win 10 upgrade and also upgrades from Gotham -> Isengard and then to Jarvis.

Best regards
