Does this app even work on Windows 11 at all? #58

cc

This is the only thing I get after running the exe. Nothing happens after that even after starting my CC, playing youtube videos or even starting CC first instead of CastSponsorSkip. The help document mentions nothing of Windows version.

Oh I am running chromecast v2 if this helps. What am I missing here? Thanks

gabe565 commented 9 months ago

It should work with Windows, but I haven't tested it myself yet. If it's not too much trouble, can you install go-chromecast and run go-chromecast ls to see if any devices are detected?

docker castsponsorskip

So I went ahead and install docker but not for this test, it was for ISponsorBlockTV. Whille it works, yours does not, It still stuck on searching for devices. I really wish this simple exe one works because it does not make any sense to use docker which consumes GIGS of SSD space and RAM just to run this thing. Unfortunately ISponsorBlockTV does not have any simple exe builds.

oh and ignore the "exiting" I was installing yours from command prompt and rerunning it on docker window to capture screenshot

EDIT: one important thing to note, even ISponsorBlockTV's chromecast discovery does not work, but that app can be configured manually by inputting TV code which since then works just fine

go chromecast

I saw the go chromecast thingie and its just an exe so I ran it. This is running while my TV/CC is on

@MrManinBlack1337 Thanks for testing that. It seems like discovery may not work from Windows. I'll have to do some additional testing to see if I can get it working.

In the mean time, I've added support for hardcoding the device list in v0.7.0! A device list can be passed with the new --devices flag or with the CSS_DEVICES env.

MrManinBlack1337 commented 9 months ago

This works! I can live with this. Way better than running resources heavy docker. Anyway can I connect to multiple devices or just one while using this flag?

gabe565 commented 9 months ago

@MrManinBlack1337 Yes! I should have specified in my original comment, but that flag/env accepts a comma-separated list of device IP addresses
