cspot ?

[nagyrobi]

Would it be possible to run cspot on this firmware?
That would restore the Spotify Connect player functionality (the device playing directly from Spotify servers, mobile client just remote controlling).

I don't see any obvious obstacles since cspot seems to have a standard ALSAAudioSink. It has some build dependencies (golang, python-something, ...) where it's unclear to me how they work with the OpenWrt build system, but if you hammer on them long enough it will probably compile.

The last paragraph says It will then switch to an encrypted ShannonConnection. Since mpeg123 with SSL mp3 streams overloaded the CPU in my tests, you have to check whether a ShannonConnection (whatever that is) also encrypts all data or whether you can relax the encryption to control data.

Well it works (pretty well) on ESP32 architecture (which is just an IoT MCU) which is pretty damn limited in resources compared to a CPU...
