Show Chromecast devices on first touch #175

Open pceiley opened 5 years ago

pceiley commented 5 years ago

Currently, in order to stream via Chromecast, I need to touch the cast icon, then touch "Chromecast", then select my Chromecast from a list. Is there any way to bring up the list of Chromecast devices immediately after touching the cast icon?

cvium commented 5 years ago

I'm guessing no. For desktop Chrome it's a limitation in the Chromecast API. It's possible it's the same for Android.

pceiley commented 5 years ago

That would be a shame - it's not a huge issue, but it's what my family are used to as migrants from the Plex app which pulls this off somehow.

cvium commented 5 years ago

Well, if Plex can do it, then I'm guessing we can too.

I believe the current implementation functions this way because it also lists Jellyfin devices that can be remote controlled. Maybe that functionality should be moved to a separate button though so Chromecast can work in a more standard way.

Maybe we should just list available Chromecast devices right in the cast menu instead of putting them in a "Chromecast" submenu?

It should show Chromecast devices first, at the bottom can be icon for more devices. thornbill sums this pretty much.
