Chromecast support #106

Open MeoMix opened 10 years ago

bored-engineer commented 10 years ago

I've got a few chromecasts with developer access, and would be happy to help with this feature. You're going to need a "receiver" webpage that is accessible at a URL such as http://streamus.com/chromecast which the chromecast will load. After that, it's a matter of signaling to that page what to play next.

Awesome! I would love some help supporting the feature. Do you need any information about the software to help you get started? Let me know, thanks!

I am very interested in this feature as well. I am also interested in possibly helping it work. The Chromecast SDK is only available to developers and will only work with whitelisted chromecast devices sadly. The official SDK should not be too far away. Making it work with chromecast TV Quene is also a must.

bored-engineer commented 10 years ago

Well that's not all together true. We can develop the application (I have developer access and devices to test with) and prepare for release. We can also do a beta type release for people who have rooted their chromecasts. If a device is rooted additional applications can be added to the whitelist. Obviously once the official public release of the SDK is ready it can be released for general use.

Looks like it not longer matters as the SDK seems to have come out officially, and the whitelisting can be forgotten. Let's get working on it soon. I will see what I can do later this week. I have to learn this SDK, but doesn't seem to complicated.

Any update on this feature?

Still working on #217 at the moment...

I look forward to this feature. I hope it comes to fruition sooner than later.

Looking forward to this as well. I'd be happy to help with some UAT when the time comes. Currently non-rooted Chromecast.
