ChromeCast support #220

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Now that the SDK is open, would it be possible to add support for it in the 
remote?

It seems like chromecast natively support some specific video streams, and can 
load video over http. 

So the basic steps would probably be to set vlc to transcode the video, and the 
remote instructs chromecast to open and play the url.

It seems like the VLM system could be used for setting this up. If I got time, 
I'll do some tests later today.
