Ability to direct ChromeCast to a specific URL #162

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It would be ideal if it was possible to direct ChromeCast to a specific URL 
without the dependancy of Android/iOS/Chrome. This would significantly extend 
the use cases for ChromeCast (i.e. enterprise applications) by providing a 
lightweight display endpoint that can be controlled remotely.

As a suggestion, the addition of a registered DIAL application, lets call it 
"ChromeBrowser" that accepts a URL parameter for the destination, e.g.

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" 
http://ChromeCastIP:8008/apps/ChromeBrowser -X POST -d 
'url=http://www.google.com'

That is currently not on the roadmap. For showing a URL, you can add as simple 
application to show that page.

Thanks for the clarification, as far as I'm aware even a simple application is 
still dependant on Android/Chrome/iOS in order to create a sender application.

Is there anything on the roadmap to allow other platforms or services to 
perform sender functionality?
