it should work without internet connection

Yes, I agree. But does it? It has not, in my experience, worked this way with other applications. Does it with this one? edit: Oops, you are the creator... haha. I will now insert my foot in my mouth.

I think you are talking about the posted project. The CC itself will refuse to boot without an internet connection .. Once it booted, it provides a limited offline functionality; if it requires to load `appID` from the internet, and it's not connected: it will block Also since last February update, you need an internet connection to stream local content .. I'm sorry Dave, you cant do that

    Yep. In order to develop for the platform, you need to register your application[0], and your device[1]. Also you cannot even run your own application without getting google's approval[2], which costs $5.. Then, at runtime, the device will first validate that the app you are trying to run was validated, sending the `AppID` to google. 0: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration#RegisterApp https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration#Registe... 1: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration#RegisterDevice https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/registration#Registe... 2: https://cast.google.com/publish/ https://cast.google.com/publish/

      Wow, that's draconian. Are there any devices a bit more open that are in the same price range and support the same feature set?

        so far I am very happy with the raspberry pi as a homebrew platform .. PROS: - ports: 1x wired net, 4x usb 2.0 - runs linux, super easy to extend/modify (access via ssh from other devices) - super reliable, with uptimes of months CONS: - bigger in size, and not beautiful without a case (except if you like electronic pr0n) - requires an HDMI cable - requires an external power source

        Can the raspberry pi run off a TV's USB port similar to the Chromecast?

        YMMV, It looks it can. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=9322 https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=91&t=9322

        I have had issues running a wifi dongle when connecting using the tv's usb port - admittedly this is with the old version and not the new one with the updated power circuitry. However, I have had no issues using usb power from the tv with a LAN connection - this is using Kodi which I suspect will increase the power pull. YMMV
