Support for Roku? #245

Closed SevilleCode closed 1 year ago

SevilleCode commented 1 year ago

OS version: Windows 10 Browser version: Firefox 106.0.1 Extension version: v0.3.1 Bridge version: v0.3.0

Description I cannot cast YouTube videos to my Roku Express from Firefox. It says it cannot find any supported devices. Casting works normally in Chromium browsers, so it's probably something particular to this extension.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Click casting button in Firefox while watching a YouTube video.
  2. Window says, "Cast YouTube to" but doesn't provide a list of players. Sometimes there is an error message about not being able to find a supported player.

Expected behaviour Expected to see the Roku Express listed as an option, which I can then select and watch YouTube on the tv.

Thank you!

There's currently no DIAL support (#7), which is what Roku uses for casting YouTube/Netflix. It'll only work on actual Chromecast-supported devices.

Okay, thank you for the explanation.
