- anderspitman 7y agoI don't have a Chromecast. I have a Roku TV. One of the implied points of this article is that the solution I'm suggesting would work for any device as a fallback, let them implement whatever other fancy protocols they want.
- zokier 7y ago> However, there doesn't seem to be any widely implemented standard for playing plain URLs, only walled gardens like the YouTube app. But chromecast is essentially that standard you ask for, otherwise "apps" like I linked wouldn't work. Heck, as far as I know (I'm not really a Chrome user), Chrome has this functionality built-in, so you can send URLs directly from browser to a chromecast device.
- anderspitman 7y agoAs I said in the post, I'm all for these technologies. I'm just asking for a copy-paste style alternative for when they don't work.
