cast.Api.launch doesn't connect to already running receiver application but restarts it #75

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Simple Chrome Sender / Receiver combination
2. Connect to a receiver from the chrome sender with an cast.Api.launch request 
from one device to start the application
3. Connect to the same receiver from another device using the chrome sender

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect the second sender to connect to the already running receiver 
application. Instead the receiver application is loaded fresh and the first 
sender is disconnected by this.

Please provide any additional information below.

Trying something similar with an Android Sender works as expected. If the 
receiver application is already running, the Android sender will connect to it 
instead of launching it new. I would expect the same behaviour for the Chrome 
Sender

Currently, the Chrome APIs do not support the multi-player connection scenario 
that was described.

Could you turn this "Defect" into an "Enhancement" then? Thanks :)

Thank you for your support of Chromecast.  We've just released a major update 
to the Google Cast SDK and will be closing your issue.

Take a look at http://googledevelopers.blogspot.com/ for more information.

The new Google Cast Chrome Sender SDK supports multiple users to join same 
session.  Check it out at

Yup, already all over the new SDK and noticed this (and a lot of other 
improvements). Thanks :)
