I completely geeked out and got a Spotify Now Playing screen going in Theatre View.

Video uploading.

Spotify set to route through JRiver WDM Sound card driver to a dedicated Spotify Zone.
iPhone or tablet Spotify App to control tracks.
Harmony remote

Now for the secret sauce.

Snip getting Spotify meta data and saving as text/image files
Open Broadcaster configured with a custom layout using the text and album art
Open Broadcaster sending stream to connectcast.tv
Added a web page link in MC Theatre View pointing to a popout view of my live stream from connectcast.tv

Still to play with... setting up my own rtmp streaming server locally with nginx for windows so I can stream locally and remove latency and streaming bandwidth requirements.

Could do lots of things with this streaming.

There might be an easier way to do this but hey it's an interesting idea.

Here's the stream while I wait for the video to process.

Sounds very cool, the stream didn't work for me, but I like the idea.

Hey Nathan you could set your own stream up with multiple video security camera feeds.

Instead of using the "hacked on" extension for nginx, you could use a server actually made to act as a rtmp server:
