Description

Description:

I would like to propose the support for the FCast protocol in Finamp. FCast is an open-source protocol that enables wireless streaming of audio and video content between devices, supporting various stream types such as DASH, HLS, and mp4. Integrating FCast into Finamp would enhance the app's functionality and provide users with more options for streaming their media.

Thank you for considering this feature request!

Design a plan to integrate FCast as an alternative streaming option, focusing on the client side changes needed. Start by exploring the FCast GitHub repository and the Finamp codebase for relevant hooks.
