Client for controlling a MusicCast speaker

Swimbait requires some environment variables:

Restart Visual Studio after setting these in a powershell prompt

 # IP Address of real MusicCast speaker. Used for man in the middle replays. 
 [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Swimbait:RelayHost", "192.168.1.213", "User") 

 # Folder for activity log 
 [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Swimbait:ReplayLogFolder", "D:\Downloads\Swimbait", "User")

1. Run the Swimbait.Server project
2. Test the HTTP server by browsing to http://<your-machines-IP>/MediaRenderer/desc.xml
3. Open the MusicCast app on your phone
4. Connect to a new device
5. Press C a few times into the server console while the app is waiting for a connection
6. The MusicCast app should think it has found a MusicCast speaker
7. The app will respond with an error. (More work required)

The doc folder contains various captures and collected information, including the Yamaha authored Yamaha Extended Control API Specification (Basic) and (Advanced) and which describes much of the MusicCast REST API.
