Feature Request: Support stream casting #64

Open ACyprus opened 2 years ago

Hello, super app - was delighted to find it. Thank you for sharing your work!

I was wondering if casting the video stream is planned or even possible?

Perhaps this is dependent on the underlying video player component?

With the official client, I most often watch the stream on TV via a Chromecast, but use the app to continue interacting with chat.

This is not a demand, just a polite question. :)

Thanks!

Hello.

I was going to ask something similar, and i just search here to look if someone else said that, and found this.

As a first step can be expose and open the stream to an external player, like VLC. It's something Twire and Impulse can do, so is possible to do it.

Other thing is for me casting with those apps with VLC doesn't fully work (i don't know if it's my configuration or they have to work in it more), or having the chat in the phone when casting (with Live stream should be easier, but with VODs) and i don't know if it can be use some kind of libVLC to do all these with Xtra... but it's an idea.

Thanks.
