johanholmerin / browsercast Goto Github PK

Hey Johan,

I'm impressed with what you did here, you are the only one providing an actual in-browser local cast player without extentions.
Should we make this code compatible with firefox, is this possible?

Let me know!

Hi Johan,

Amazing work, so much potential!
When I try to use your demo, or host your receiver on my own Application ID it doesn't seem to work.
I tried it on both chromecasts (Gen1 & Gen2), It keeps saying "Something went wrong" without an error ID or errors in console.

Could you confirm it's on my end?

Thank you!

Right now this implementation only works with formats supported natively by chromecast, would it be possible to achieve the same behavior with MediaStreams?

This could for example allow us to easily convert say: HEVC videos to MediaStreams using canvases allowing for wider codec support.

Additionally you could burn-in advanced subtitle formats like SSA on the browser side, and cast those to the chromecast. To my knowledge there aren't any solutions which allow SSA support on chromecasts without transcoding the entire video so this would be a first.
