Hi,

Would it be possible to integrate Chrome's support for Chromecast casting to ElectronPlayer?

Thanks, Koen.

That sounds like a great idea but I don't know if it is possible. Did you want to cast content or the entire application? There may also be problems due to the protections put in place by the streaming services DRM but there may be a way to integrate with the DRM so it can still be streamed. I will get back to you when I get some time to work on the app and try adding this feature.

Cool :-)

I think it would be great already in the first place to have the same native behavior in ElectronPlayer as within Chrome currently (where one selects: menu -> Cast … -> Select Chromecast device -> streams video content to the tv-screen).

That would avoid me to login each time on the related website (Netflix, YouTube, etc . when not watching locally on the laptop) but when wanting to stream to the TV screen, I just use the ElectronPlayer opened "sessions".

Looking forward to this and thanks in advance :-)
