just works with WiFi

[salimkayabasi]

I tested on some devices nexus 7 nexus 4 galaxy nexus UG007

works with all device only works with android to android casting no connection established with chrome to android

UG007 which has ethernet port when I connect this device on ethernet, ChromeCast cannot connect. I have to change it to Wifi

I have the same issue.

I want to use ethernet instead of WiFi.

I'm seeing the following unhandled exception in logcat when starting CheapCast on an ethernet connection:

D/PreferenceActivity( 1032): Connected to CheapCastService
W/NotificationTrackerService(  315): Dropping notification from at.maui.cheapcast
E/WifiStateMachine(  315): Error! unhandled message{ what=131157 when=0 }

D/CheapCastService( 1058): Initialized HTTP/WS Server

Does this show up for everyone else having issues on ethernet as well?

[kaazvaag]

No, also when I connect through ethernet to the device 192.168.1.108:8008 I get the message: This is CheapCast :D.

So the cheapcast app is running just fine (and is reachable through ethernet), but it is not able to give a "cheapcast" signal through ethernet (because it only shows the chromecast symbol on youtube/music when putting the Minix X5 in the WiFi only mode).

Any idea how to fix this?

@kaazvaag, if you go to http://192.168.1.108:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml look for the section "URLBase", does it show "http://127.0.0.1:8008" ?

If so, this is why it's not showing up as an available device. I believe the app is failing to properly acquire the IP address when using an ethernet connection,

[kaazvaag]

@ja450n You are right.

When I connect with ethernet (fixed IP 192.168.1.108) and enable CheapCast I get an URLBASE http://127.0.0.1:8008. When I connect with WiFi only (fixed IP 192.168.1.109) mode and enable CheapCast I get an URLBASE http://192.168.1.109:8008.

Next step. How to fix this issue?

[jayasafunctionofe]

@kaazvaag based on the exception occurring in the WifiStateMachine, i'm going to have to guess that this is a bug only the developer can fix.
