What is PlutoTV? I looked at their website but couldn't tell. Did you want to cast PlutoTV to the chromecast? Or something else?

[juliodiz]

Hey! Channels IPTV They have this API and want to casting to my chromecast

https://api.pluto.tv/v2/channels.json?%s

[juliodiz]

I run using -v

Thanks! I think it should be possible, you can try loading that URL directly and see if that works?:

$ go-chromecast load "https://service-stitcher.clusters.pluto.tv/stitch/hls/channel/5f120e94a5714d00074576a1/master.m3u8?advertisingId=&appName=&appVersion=unknown&architecture=&buildVersion=&clientTime=&deviceDNT=web&deviceId=unknown&deviceLat=-22.9201&deviceLon=-43.3307&deviceMake=chromecast&deviceModel=chromecast&deviceType=chromecast&deviceVersion=unknown&includeExtendedEvents=false&marketingRegion=BR&sid=chromecast&userId=chromecast"

If that does work then it should be possible to play any PlutoTV movies on the chromecast.

[juliodiz]

Hey!

unable to load media: unable to change to default media receiver: context deadline exceeded

And don't play , just show icon for cast.

Ah, my apologies, I need to make it so you can specify the chromecast app as well, I didn't think of that initially. Let me push out a change today for this and this should allow you to specify the PlutoTV chromecast app in order to test this out.

Perfetct! Thanks!

[juliodiz]

Hey! This change will work example for directvgo?

https://www.directvgo.com/player/station/ https://www.bitmovin.com/

[vishen]

Apologies for the delay in all of this. In the latest master there is a new command load-app, this should allow you to change the chromecast app and specify a content id for it to load. I don't have a good way to test this, so I am hoping it works.

You should be able to try the following, but you will need to find the pluto.tv chromecast app id:

$ go-chromecast load-app <app_id>  "https://service-stitcher.clusters.pluto.tv/stitch/hls/channel/5f120e94a5714d00074576a1/master.m3u8?advertisingId=&appName=&appVersion=unknown&architecture=&buildVersion=&clientTime=&deviceDNT=web&deviceId=unknown&deviceLat=-22.9201&deviceLon=-43.3307&deviceMake=chromecast&deviceModel=chromecast&deviceType=chromecast&deviceVersion=unknown&includeExtendedEvents=false&marketingRegion=BR&sid=chromecast&userId=chromecast"

To get the pluto.tv chromecast app id, you will need to run a $ go-chromecast status --debug while pluto.tv is being casted to the chromecast, and it should be in the logs with "app_id":

[juliodiz]

Thanks! How can I download this release?

[juliodiz]

It’s possible to release new version?

[vishen]

Apologies, I'll release a new version today.

[vishen]

Released a new version https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/releases/tag/v0.2.9, I haven't been able to test it out though so let me know if it doesn't work!

Its possible to debug to find how I can send to chromecast?

[vishen]

Its possible to load the app but not the video link

Not officially, but you should be able to do $ go-chromecast load-app E6F74C01 localhost and that should force the chromecast app to change.

Thanks for the debug output :) It looks like PlutoTV is sending back an unexpected payload. There seems to be a standard format most chromecast applications respond in, but PlutoTV is using a different format for whatever reason. I am not too familiar with how the exchange of request/response definitions happen. This is the response PlutoTV is responding with:

 {"command":"status","data":{"deckProgress":3486.793,"deckProgressWithoutAds":3486.793,"start":"2021-02-15T22:47:00.000Z","channel":"5f171d3442a0500007362f22","categoryId":"tv.pluto.library.guidecore.featured","timeline":"601c72a989a57f0007cf06a3","episode":"5fff4d7e6d0bea001b05b800","clip":"5fff4d7d6d0bea001b05b7fc","playerState":"playing","isVod":false}}

but go-chromecast can't parse the response and errors out:

DEBU[0000] failed to unmarshal proto message header: json: cannot unmarshal string into Go value of type cast.PayloadHeader package=cast

It is failing because of https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/blob/master/cast/connection.go#L182 which expects the response format to be https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast/blob/master/cast/payload.go#L24-L27

We would need to change how we handle and parse messages from the chromecast, and do something in the case where the message isn't one we expect. This may also cause other issues since we require "requestId" to tie requests and responses together.

[juliodiz]

So its not possible? =(

I saw KODI has Add-on for Pluto

https://github.com/Lunatixz/KODI_Addons/blob/master/plugin.video.plutotv/resources/lib/plutotv.py

[vishen]

So its not possible?

Not at the moment until we go and fix the code, it looks like we may need to write a custom message format just for Pluto. Feel free to send a PR if you want to take a look at this :)
