Xamarin forms

Sorry, I do not know if your project is private or public, I tried to compile, but it generates error with the submodules, does this project go with chromecast transmitting a video to the television? I need to do this with xamarin forms, I have identified that maybe this project is what I need, could you help me?

Error loading submodules: GoogleCast @ 657a4a7 MvxOverlay @ 945416f

That's strange, both submodules are public github repositories. What app are you using for git (or you're using just a console)? Try to "Clone from Url" with SourceTree app. This url should work for repository cloning: https://github.com/Saratsin/IziCast

Hi. I simply downloaded the file and opened it with visual studio 2017, I'm trying to create a project like this to try to stream videos to chromecast, do you have some images of how your project works with xamarin forms (Android)?

This solution is using submodules. Not all code is locating inside this repository and without git (or some application that work with git) you wouldn't launch it. The additional packages that I'm using here are GoogleCast and MvxOverlay. You can launch them separately and then connect to the project. But, as I said, the easiest way is to use Source tree or even console to restore the submodules.

I tried to create a solution using the code that is in that part of the project (https://github.com/Saratsin/IziCast/tree/master/Forms), but for some reason there are errors, I will try to do as you said.

I got it, congratulations for the project! Now I have questions, how do I reach this part of the project (https://github.com/Saratsin/IziCast/tree/master/Forms)? It's the one I'm most interested in testing, I have a project where I need to use chromecast as well.

[Saratsin]

Oh, you need this part. The Forms folder has been deprecated. It's an old code, initially my app was written on Xamarin.Forms, but afterwards I rewrote it to MvvmCross. You would better investigate IziCast.Core for these purposes. Forms folder is not supported

Watch how to use GoogleCast, I was using this library for chromecast support. Here's the class which I created to send video to Chromecast by this project: https://github.com/Saratsin/IziCast/blob/master/IziCast.Core/Models/GoogleCastVideoSender.cs

Do you have any sample similar to miracast? I want to play video from mobile to smartTV (Sansung, LG and others), I heard that this is not possible, as I would have to have an application installed on the TV to do the reading, however, you have already noted that in windows 10 it is possible play videos for tv just by clicking on stream? Yeah, do you know any direction to tell me or do you know how this works so I can search? I really liked your sample, I'm implementing it in xamarin forms, thank you very much, but I do not want to be limited to Chromecasts, I also want to be able to play videos for televisions. Thank you very much for your help so far.
