v1.1.0 Missing Usage Guide

[aniceberg]

It seems that support for certain functions (e.g. PlayMediaGet) were deprecated in the v1.1.0 release but I can't find any updated usage documentation to that effect (e.g. v1.0.0 usage).

Some other v1.0.0 functions I noticed are broken (or perhaps just renamed) in v1.1.0:

• /image
• /version
• /version/this
• /version/latest

I also noticed you can no longer issue commands using a speaker group's id (e.g. device IDs that contain dash characters) but still works when directing the command to a specific to device ID (without any dashes in it). Are the group capabilities still working? If so how do we utilize it?

Hey, for documentation you just need to follow the instructions here. They're interactive now, thanks to swagger-ui. Either parse the file in your browser, or install cast-web-api with the --dev option.

Yes, /image seems to be broken. Will fix in the next release. #111

/version/this/latest is now part of /config. It returns a json with these values at once. See the swagger file for more info.

I also noticed you can no longer issue commands using a speaker group's id

Cannot confirm this. Is this still an issue? Works for me regardless of dashes.

Fix is live in 1.2.0-rc8. If you want to try it run npm install cast-web-api@beta -g. There's no need to update the st dth.

However, cast-web-api will be split into three different packages.

• cast-web-api: the main api itself (use forever, or whatever you've been using before with it)
• cast-web-api-cli: it wraps the api and manages it, no need to install forever, etc. just run cast-web-api-cli start or stop/status, etc. takes care of everything, even after reboots
• cast-web-api-desktop: also wraps and manages the api but is a proper desktop application, for win/mac/linux, just download and install, like any other application
