Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I would like to propose the addition of serverside Google Cast support to Audiobookshelf. While the current WebApp and Android app already support streaming. This feature would allow users to cast their audiobooks directly from the server to their Google Cast devices without relying on client-side casting capabilities.

Why would this be helpful?

One of the main advantages of this feature is that it would prevent the stream from stopping when I close my laptop. Currently, streaming relies on the client device, and if the device goes into sleep mode or is closed, the stream is interrupted. Serverside casting would ensure continuous playback regardless of the client device’s state.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Music Assistant (https://music-assistant.io/player-support/google-cast/) has already implemented a similar feature, allowing for seamless casting from the server.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v.2.10.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

At the time I opened FR, it had not been implemented.
