enable chromecasting downloaded episodes
add internal http server to enable chromecasting of downloaded episodes when podcast stream is unavailable (only if user explicitly enables feature)

shared this idea
This will be available in v2020.18
A first beta should be available by the end of the week
The way it works, the app automatically run a web server for audio books / virtual podcast episodes (content with no remote url)
Then there’s a setting that you can enable so the app can automatically use the local copy of the episode instead of streaming it from the local server (Settings/Player)

Yes please. I just discovered after all this time that I can't send local mp3 shows to a Google Home Hub... said it can't cast local media... Say what?! All my other media players can, so what's up? If I could send the video based ones direct from the phone I could probably avoid the horrible restart-and-then-forget-last-position issue that happens 3/4 of the time...
