i'm actually trying to play a simple tvshow mp4 and it fails
cast --name Cast media play test.mp4

Connecting to 192.168.0.138:8009...

Load media failed

but it works using the built-in chrome feature Cast a file
what file formats does this library support?

cast version 0.1.0

Running in Bash:
/usr/local/bin/cast --host 10.0.6.14 url load 'http://grafana.example.com:3000/d/TndUWSRZk/main?orgId=1&refresh=5m&kiosk'
Output:

Failed to send load command: context deadline exceeded

Results:
Successfully casts the webpage, but then stops after a minute or two.

NOTE: The chromecast device is on a different subnet from the host. Works fine when casting from Chrome.

Would it be possible to add a mute command rather than me having to set the volume to 0? I see if a device is muted in the home app it will show the volume using the status command suffixed by "muted". Could the volume command be adjusted to allow it to be muted and retain the existing volume level?

I use your go-cast binary in a bash script to mute the volume when the radio commercials play. I have a work around by getting current volume level before setting it to zero and then setting it back to the previous level but it's very messy.

On the examples presented on the main page, global option "--name" is used however version 0.0.5 downloaded from latest does not accept the option. Output returned:

do you knwo if this works with the new CAF ?
They seem to be promoting the idea of Remote access via chrome cast now for gams etc.

Hi!

I would love to be able to 'cast' audio from a line in. I want to try to get this working - do you have any ideas on how I could hook this up? Where is the binary data sent from the audio files currently?

It seems that this tool only works for open Chromecasts where the "Let others control your casted media" setting is enabled. If I turn that switch off then the commands fail with an INVALID_MEDIA_SESSION_ID error. Is it possible to login or somehow supply a media session id so I can use this command without having an open Chromecast?

Receiving this error trying to receive.

Hey i have another script connecting to one of my google homes on port 8009

is it possible to send audio to all my google homes? and or can i send the data throuugh another unused port to my other google home in my room

hey I want to thank you for this amazing library first.
and a quick question, do you think it may be possible to transfer directly a ts file from url load to the chromecast or i will have to edit this project for my need to transcode the ts file in golang to mp4

edit: a bit more info, i'm using streamlink to get a m3u8 file from the web and i host the feed using that same tool, it goes to 127.0.0.1:any and then it waits for clients. so i can't give a link to go-cast including the extension.

I need to pass headers (api key, etc) to URL LOAD. Is this possible?

Seems like the url command is pointing to a github page that doesn't exist anymore for the app I'm assuming.

Hello,

/usr/local/bin/cast --version
cast version 0.1.0

An issue regarding this is that it seems to not be casting in 1080. I have had to re-format many dashboards in order to fit, but it would be fantastic if it actually casted in 1080 as it does normally.

Is this a setting I have missed?

I tried both the x86 and amd64 versions.

I would like to know if one of the Linux installs (cast-linux-386, cast-linux-amd64, cast-linux-arm) would work on a raspberry pi? If it is supported is there any variation in the install?

I installed go-cast on my Mac but when I try to play it prompts by saying no help topic for play. Here is the play command I am using.

Garys-MacBook-Pro:bin garymeyer$ cast --host=192.168.85.48 --port=42662 play http://audiocdn.mainstreaming.tv/101156/mmc

Hi,
is there any chance a Resume function could be added? Or how to resume after Pause? The feature should be supported by Chromecast, Chrome Cast popup allows pausing and resuming (even foreign streams).

Thanks in advance,
Aleq

I have been using go-cast for a few weeks now and have found that the DHCP changes the ip address. I have addressed this issue with the physical speakers by reserving the ip address, but I am not able to reserve the ip for the Chromecast groups. So I have been trying to use the --name= option in place of the --host= option, and I am getting the following error output.

Command with --host and no error:

The command with --name= and error:

Note: Despite getting the error the music still casts out to the speakers in the group. I am using the 0.1.0 cast-linux-arm release on a raspberry pi.
