chromecast!
- johnhattan 9y agoYeah, I'd been using the Chromecast support in the earlier 3.0 betas. Seemed to be working just fine, although it wasn't getting the "friendly" name that I'd set for the device. So instead of "Living Room TV", I'd see a big hash-code. It can also play audio over Google Home speakers.
- sand500 9y agoHaven't gotten a chance to try this yet but is this the same functionality as videostream but free?
- ProxCoques 9y agoChromecaaast! I might ditch my HTPC currently running OpenELEC on a Acer Revo, and just waz out movies from my phone. There's always some damn problem with OpenELEC - the whole library/file management is confusing as all hell for one thing.
- kuschku 9y agoNow how long until Google breaks the API again? They did that the last time people started implementing Chromecast renderers in open source projects.
- milankragujevic 9y agoDo you have a source for that? I thought Google only broke the APIs when people tried to clone Cchromecast functionality in another device form factor, or create an emulator for a Chromecast, not just implementing the normal "Cast to" functionality.
- kuschku 9y agoI understood the parent comment as VLC supporting rendering as if it was a Chromecast – not casting to one. And yes, I want that functionality. "Cast to VLC".
