Bring on chrome cast

[eshimko]

Any plans to trickle chrome cast to Wiim Mini?

Not possible, hardware limitation.

Do you know what is this hardware limitation exactly?

 

[Mr Ee]

Wiim might have elaborated in this forum somewhere, I know they commented on it somewhere here, but basically the 'chip' required for CC isn't in the mini.

 

[Mr Ee]

Not sure these give much more info, but are wiim's posts on it that I can find quickly.

"Hardware requirements" can be anything from the amount of RAM for example. No special hardware necessary.

 

[Mr Ee]

Can't answer with a specific reason, just that you shouldn't hold your breath.
Maybe all the RAM's allocated to Roon

I'm just curious if there's any special hardware for gc4a in the Pro or just a set of libraries/sdk with hardware requirements the Mini can't meet.
