Play a .mp4 File about sharpcaster HOT 7 CLOSED

The current implementation is expecting the mime type of the stream to be different then MP4. I will add a parameter to LoadMedia where you can specify on next version. It might take a while.

If you want to get started right now then instead of client.LoadMedia...
You can add following

var startedApplication = client.ChromecastStatus?.Applications?.FirstOrDefault(x => x.AppId == applicationId);
var currentApplicationTransportId = startedApplication.TransportId;
var currentApplicationSessionId = startedApplication.SessionId;

var mediaChannel = client.Channels.First(i => i.Namespace == "urn:x-cast:com.google.cast.media");
var mediaObject = new MediaData("http://www.w3schools.com/html/mov_bbb.mp4", "video/mp4", null, "BUFFERED", 0D, null);
var req = new LoadRequest(currentApplicationSessionId, mediaObject, true, 0.0, null);

var reqJson = req.ToJson();
await mediaChannel.Write(MessageFactory.Load(currentApplicationTransportId, reqJson));

Ok i will try it on the weekend.

When will be the update? If it will this month its good.

Btw is there a way to disconnect to the chromecast or must i wait for the timout?

from sharpcaster.

There will be a new version this month.

There's currently no way to disconnect from the Chromecast. I might also have support for that in next version.

then I will wait for your great work ;)... Maybe with your help i can soon send mp4 files from my handy to the chromcast :D.

I will test it tomorrow with that code and will give you a feedback ;)

Did it work for you?

I just released 0.1.7-pre which contains the change to allow you specify the content type while calling LoadMedia. Note that I heavily refactored the stuff and it is not a final version so there will be more major changes before I hit the final 0.1.7
