Neo1738 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 You can't do youtube from android directly. You would need a bluetooth adapter and plug it into the audio matrix with audio sensing. Otherwise you need to use shairebridge from an Apple product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Or a Chromecast audio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylon147 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Get a MI box it has Audio Out. Plug it in to Controllers Audio input and you will have Chrome-cast Audio in all Control4 Zones. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 can also get airplay emulators on android and use the shairbridge on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These usually only work if you have rooted your device. At least I've never found a Shairbridge app that would work on my (non-rooted) phone.

Matt Lowe Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 there is also a driver for DNLA support as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aayush Arya Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It's ridiculous that Control4 does not come with inbuilt support for fundamental features like Google Cast and built-in Alexa/Google Assistant/Siri integration (i.e. without having to rely on Echo devices).Sent from my SM-G970F using Tapatalk Elvis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstafford388 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 While I see the value in those features the vast majority of Control4 projects still do not use voice control (likely not the case for end users here but end users here do not accurately reflect the average user). Having that built into the hardware increases cost so it's likely deemed not worth it at this point. It also would require the companies you mentioned being willing to play ball, which some are more than others. It also then opens up the privacy conversation which is an entirely different can of worms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 I think ChromeCast Audio built in would be valuable... pdapice and Elvis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 My MiBox 4 suddenly rebooted by itself and requested full restore to function again, crap shit just to find the fuc**n original remote to restore it back and reinstall all the apps and IrSUB, etc! Role of thumb keep one remote of every device you have in your house in one place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this is a major oversight on C4s part msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo1738 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Yeah audio casting similar to shairbridge would be great considering how many android users there are. I will say if you have an audio matrix, distributed video with downmixing and Chromecast Video device you can set the chromecast zones as audio and then cast to that using a standard video chromecast not chromecast audio.
