Chromecast integration #5

Cast from app to a chromecast dongle on the local area network.

DSteve595 commented 11 years ago

This is a great idea. I'm not sure if this is a job for the video player app or the Put.io one, but I'll try to figure out a good way to integrate it either way. On Jul 27, 2013 10:54 PM, "Vivek Sekhar" notifications@github.com wrote:

Might need to fling put.io's mp4 transcode links instead of the regular download links. Not sure what codec they are using inside the container, but chromecast supports a few of the usual suspects: https://developers.google.com/cast/supported_media_types. Would have to try it to know.

DSteve595 commented 11 years ago

Sadly, this feature is on hold until: A: The Google Cast SDK becomes finalized, and B. I get myself a ChromeCast (or some kind of emulator).

But I'm definitely getting this implemented.

DSteve595 commented 11 years ago

Started working on it.

marcialca commented 10 years ago

Any updates on this? I just got the Chromecast and will be great to be able to do this :)

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Google's Chromecast SDK is still not "out". I have Cast pretty much done and ready to put out, but

A. It won't work (only developer-whitelisted ChromeCasts will run the app)

B. Google will probably take the app down for breaking terms of the SDK.

Google's doing an event related to ChromeCast in about two weeks that most devs are expecting will make the SDK public, and allow third-party apps. (finally!)

Sorry it's been taking so long, I'm excited about it too!

marcialca commented 10 years ago

Ohh, I see, I didn't know that there was still an 'out' left :P . Hopefully Google will allow third party apps, it will be awesome and knowing the app is ready is incredible. I'll wait and see :)

Thanks for the update and your work on the app!

How do I get my chrome cast unit white-listed for development? If we do that is it possible to get or build an apk for this app?

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

https://developers.google.com/cast/whitelisting

It's a human-approved process, so it can take a bit, and I doubt they'd be okay with the duplicate app ID, but you could try it. Then replace the app ID in CastService with the one you receive from them.

Feathur commented 10 years ago

I personally would pay to have this... Google stop holding up the show!

TheKEP commented 10 years ago

Google released the Cast SDK! Woohoo!

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

YES! I'll get this out as soon as I get home!

csomerlot commented 10 years ago

Tell me how to donate in support of this feature and I will send money.

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Thanks so much! The Cast Developers registration fee was $5, so if that could be covered I'd be very, very grateful.

PayPal: digisteve5@gmail.com

Feathur commented 10 years ago

Perhaps you should put a donation button on the github and in the app... doesn't have to be very big or even in the way.

By the way I was able to install the app avia and use that to stream from your app to my chromecast... so that works as a method as well. Though I'd prefer to do it in one hop from your app.

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Thanks guys <3, I added a Pledgie donate button to the readme.

Current situation: Google started the rollout of Play Services 4.2 today, and it contains the new, public Cast SDK. The Play Services library in the SDK is still on version 4.1, however, and they say our SDKs will get it "Once the update to devices is complete". Whether that means today, or in a few days, I don't know.. it's really vague. But I'm spamming Refresh just in case.

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

@csomerlot, Thank you so, so much.. that was extremely generous!

curreta commented 10 years ago

@DSteve595 Thanks for being awesome! Excited to see the feature!

reishy commented 10 years ago

I signed up to github just to comment. Any new on chromecast?

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Situation's the same as a few days ago. I've been checking to see if GPS 4.2 is out yet, and it's not. (Hasn't even rolled out to my phone yet, but it has to my tablet).

I'll comment here as soon as it drops. Any other questions, feel free to ask!

reishy commented 10 years ago

Awesome!

Yes another question! Can I move files to Google drive directly?

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

If by directly you mean from service-to-service without downloading it to your device, then sorry, not from this app. :( The "share" button will download it and, once it's done, give you a menu to share the file with, from which you can pick Google Drive. As far as I know, no service provides a direct connection between put.io and Drive. I'd love to see one, though.

reishy commented 10 years ago

Thank you! I agree

paracycle commented 10 years ago

Hey Steve,

Do you know how Koushik Dutta managed to release a new version of AllCast with Chromecast support? I guess being a member of Team Cyanogen helps. :smile:

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

No clue, and you're (we're) not the only one wondering that. It may have to do with the fact that he was invited to the Chromecast hackathon.

paracycle commented 10 years ago

Mystery solved! Somewhere much further down in the comment thread, Koush states:

+Michael Pujos +Nathan Jones I did not use the new sdk, I am using the old media router apis.

So it really is a waiting game for the new SDK to come out.

Feathur commented 10 years ago

I was under the impression the new SDK was out? My chromecast updated and google announced the SDK... maybe I'm wrong.

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

The SDK is out for iOS and Chrome. Android's still waiting..

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

Android SDK is out! I'm on it.

DSteve595 commented 10 years ago

First beta went into the Play Store a few hours ago!

Feathur commented 10 years ago

Sent you a small donation, thanks for the hard work.

petemill commented 10 years ago

@DSteve595 how does one get the beta installed?

LeFauxMatt commented 10 years ago

Put.io now officially supports Chromecast from the browser. I'm not sure what they're doing differently, but I have some cases where videos that are cast from this app have no audio, but they work when cast from the website.

The video I'm testing is a mkv with h264 video and ac3 audio.

TheKEP commented 10 years ago

How does the Put.io to Chromecast work exactly from the official site? Do you view it in Chrome for Android, and the link appears or what? I can't seem to get the send to Chromecast link to appear on any browser on PC or Android.
