Multiple Rokus? #37

Open STaRDoGG opened 6 years ago

STaRDoGG commented 6 years ago

Just installed and gave it a test run on one of my Rokus and it works great! Would it be possible to add in the ability to select different Rokus before casting? I have 3 different Rokus in different rooms, and would love to be able to choose which to cast to before casting.

Yea that's a good idea. It should probably skip the selection screen if there's only one roku discovered.

It would probably have to wait until after (if) the frontend write is done though, since currently the frontend is a tangle of obfuscated JS and angular.

Isn't this already enabled with the ssdp plugin? Do you have the ssdp extension installed?

For me, with the ssdp plugin I don't see the drop-down selection of rokus.

@nitrocode Yes but I believe @STaRDoGG wanted a flow of:

select video to cast -> roku device picker comes up -> choose device and video starts playing

as opposed to the current one of

set device to cast to -> select video to cast -> video starts playing on casted device.

Arguably it's not really much different, but the former is more in line with what the chromecast extension does.
