Steve Troughton-SmithGetting into the WWDC groove by investigating SharePlay support in @broadcastsapp. It’s trivially easy to implement, and it seems to just work
Bumped @broadcastsapp to v3.2 to account for the new watch app and SharePlay support, so I can bundle them together. Making sure to keep the scope of this update pretty small, as it's not intended to draw out into an iOS 17 update over the summer
Stephen Uffelman@stroughtonsmith @broadcastsapp Does watch listening play back through the watch’s speaker or only through connected headphones?
@sru @broadcastsapp connected headphones
@stroughtonsmith @broadcastsapp Thanks for the reply. Please consider this a request for speaker playback. I’d love to dip into radio streams spontaneously without having to find my headphones first.
@sru @broadcastsapp I'd love to do it, but last I checked watchOS only lets you do speaker playback for shortform audio like video clips, not music playback? It would burn through your battery pretty quickly
@stroughtonsmith @broadcastsapp With the Ultra’s large screen, battery, and speaker, I find myself wanting to use it for podcasts/radio. I’m not sure it would work for live streams, but it may be worth investigating how WatchTube is able to show YouTube videos on the watch with playback through the speaker.
