How to make the player work with chromecast?

[ChrisMichaelPerezSantiago]

Chromecast option when playing videos is not showing.

export let loadPlayer = async (torrent_magnet) => {
  window.webtor = window.webtor || [];
  window.webtor.push({
    id: 'player',
    magnet: torrent_magnet,
    width: '100%',
    on: function (e) {
      if (e.name == window.webtor.TORRENT_FETCHED) {
        console.log('Torrent fetched!', e.data);
      }
      if (e.name == window.webtor.TORRENT_ERROR) {
        console.log('Torrent error!');
      }
    },
    features: {
      p2pProgress: true,
      title:       true,
      settings:    true,
      fullscreen:  true,
      subtitles:   true,
      continue:    true,
      playpause:   true,
      currentTime: true,
      timeline:    true,
      duration:    true,
      volume:      true,
      chromecast:  true,
      browse:      true,
      download:    true,
    },
    i18n: {
      en: {
        common: {
          "prepare to play": "Preparing Video Stream... Please Wait...",
        },
        stat: {
          "seeding": "Seeding",
          "waiting": "Client initialization",
          "waiting for peers": "Waiting for peers",
          "from": "from",
        },
      },
    },
  });
};

Any implementation required to make that functionality work?

It works just like that, if you don't see the chromecast button maybe be because you don't have it enabled on your web browser

For example, in Brave you need to have Media Router enabled:

I have a desktop application with electronjs. In that case it would have to see how internally with electronjs I can activate it.

Then you don't need Webtor, you can use Webtorrent that will be faster since Webtor is downloading from Webtor's servers and Webtorrent is connecting directly to the p2p network. This is a problem in the browser since browsers don't have UDP support, but in ElectronJS you can do it on the main side and stream it to the renderer side

Thank you, I will consider it! :)

@Albermonte thanks for help! @ChrisMichaelPerezSantiago in some cases users just don't want to use p2p (because of fees for torrenting in some countries).
