Add ability to cast videos to smart devices

Open Feanor78 opened this issue 6 years ago • 7 comments

Implement a "cast" button (similar to the one that shows up on YouTube and Netflix) when you're connected to a wifi network with devices that can be cast to (Roku box, PS4, Xbox, Plex server, etc.).

If anyone is interested in giving it a go, there is a library to enable Cast capabilities for android apps. Plex has a fork of it with several commits ahead: https://github.com/plexinc/CastCompanionLibrary-android

Come on almost four years have past from the initial request ... LBRY/ODYSEE has gone way ahead since then, but unfortunately the mobile client it is still crap, it misses major functionality like to be able to cast any device at all! That is is getting really ridicules for the number 2 streaming platform ...

I don't think that will be possible. Google banned Lbry from the play store.

I have not drilled into the requirements official Chromecast SDK, but libvlc can cast to chromecast without requiring any sort of Google registration and is available for android , ios. It can also cast to varius UPnP renderers as a bonus.

Registering on Google Cast website is only required when the user-visible UI is customized. It is not needed in order to just show content
