Chromecast Web API using IP Adress of chrome cast instead of UUID

[Toutzn]

Hello,

it would be nice if we can use the WEB API sending the IP Adress of the Device instead of UUID. In a lot of our Networks only ipv4 without local DNS are present for this device Network. Devices have static IPs via DHCP Server.

e.g.:

./go-chromecast stop -a 192.168.0.10 POST /stop?device_ip=192.168.0.10

And as described in https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/issues/131 reboot of the device would be nice as well:

./go-chromecast reboot -a 192.168.0.10 POST /reboot?device_ip=192.168.0.10

is it possible to get this features as soon as possible?

Thanks

We should be able to add the ability to search via ip address and name etc here https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/blob/master/http/handlers.go#L179-L187 and https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/blob/master/http/handlers.go#L215-L217.

And as described in https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/issues/131 reboot of the device would be nice as well

This one is unfortunately much harder. There is some initial investigation #131 that could get someone started, but I don't think it is an easy feature to implement.

Ok. if it is possible using IP address vie http API instead if UUID will help a lot for my solution. Hope, reboot will be possible as well. Hope, I hear from you as soon as you have a solution for my requests.

Thanks a lot. BR
