chromecast's Introduction

ChromeCast

Initial chromecast work

API

Chromecast

var chromecast = require('chromecast')();

Initialize a new Chromecast object.

A Chromecast object is an event emitter.

Events:

device

Emits an event when a device is found. Receives a Device object.

chromecast.on('device', function(device){
  // device is the chromecast device
});

discover

Chromecast starts looking for devices.

chromecast.discover();

Device

A Chromecast Device object

launch

Device launches an app with given data.

chromecast.on('device', function(device){
  device.launch('YouTube', {
    v: 'cKG5HDyTW8o'
  });
});

appInfo

Device retrieves info about app.

chromecast.on('device', function(device){
  device.launch('ChromeCast', {
    v: 'release-9e8c585405ea9a5cecd82885e8e35d28a16609c6'
  }).then(function(){
    return device.appInfo();
  }).then(function(appInfo){
    console.log(appInfo);
  });
});

connectionUrl

Device retrieves the connection url for app.

chromecast.on('device', function(device){
  device.launch('ChromeCast', {
    v: 'release-9e8c585405ea9a5cecd82885e8e35d28a16609c6'
  }).then(function(){
    return device.appInfo();
  }).then(function(appInfo){
    return device.connectionUrl(appInfo);
  }).then(function(connectionUrl){
    console.log(connectionUrl);
  });
});

chromecast's Issues

Documentation: calling sample receiver

Hi,

Do you have a little documentation on how to launch a custom app like described in SDK?
https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome

How to declare ApplicationID and namesapce to send some data and go to the right receiver ?

Regards

Hello, the youtube example works great, but for some reason https://github.com/iceddev/chromecast/blob/master/examples/chromecast.js example does not work. I'm guessing maybe they updated Chromecast and the API changed a little?

Thanks,

Video Player Controls

I'm assuming this is coming with the docs, but where all methods for play, pause, etc?

Cannot find module 'rest/interceptor/mime'

Hi,

I just checked out your module. And was having this error out of the box.

MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion

mkdir chromecasttest
cd chromecasttest
npm install chromecast
touch app.js
edit app.js to include the following text:

var chromecast = require('chromecast')();


chromecast.on('device', function(device){
    // device contains device info
    console.log(device);
});

Then I ran this from the terminal

brassmonkey:chromecasttest francois$ node app.js

Got these results:

module.js:340
    throw err;
          ^
Error: Cannot find module 'rest/interceptor/mime'

    at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12)
    at Module.require (module.js:364:17)

Any ideas what's up? I was curious to poke around more with this and saw your module mentioned this morning so I was checking it out.

ps. I'm the CTO at Brass Monkey and so obviously love this space.
