stestagg / dashcast Goto Github PK

Hi,
Very good code that give us real perspective to us custom chromecast service.
We have smartTV integrated a chromecast code.

Dashcast is displaying 720p resolution on all external chromecast/box... But in internal build chromecast device with chromeOS it displaying 955px x 400px in dashcast but fullhd in service like youtube and netflix.

I try to force a resolution of 720p in the code but i do not find the good way to do it. I don't want full hd but no less than 720p.

Can you give me some research track to find a solution to this very slow resolution ?

Best Regards,

Not an issue, just a request for info ...

I was wondering if it were possible interact with the webpage? I'm casting to a Vizio TV which uses a built-in Chromecast Ultra. The "native" apps are HTML5, but they won't tell you the URLs (and they don't get shown when you query the Chromecast, which is odd - it says the Chromecast is idle). Anyway, remote buttons can interact with these apps. Is it possible to write apps that behave this way?

Assuming I can get the site to display, do the remote buttons send html events or something in some way? Is there a way to find out how to detect this?

In HA (and therefore in lovelace) when casting with dash cast the media state doesn't update and the chromecast shows as off or not playing.

We have a Chromecast (v3) running our custom web application on a screen which gives instructions to customers. We start it with the catt command, which loads the Dashcast app on the chromecast and shows the website - this process works great.

But every day around 3-4 PM (EET) the Chromecast reboots itself (shuts down nicely with a "restarting...." screen. We are monitoring the Chromecast every minute and will load the web page again if it's not shown, but this gives a very bad experience to the customers coming in at the time of the reboot.

I've never experienced this in Chromecasts that were playing videos from netflix, youtube etc. only with our chromecast running Dashcast and displaying a website.

Is there any way to prevent the automatic reboots? I guess the popular streaming apps does something to prevent it? Maybe it's a setting within the Dashcast Chromecast app code etc?

This doesn't seem to work from an iPhone, I can only get it to work from a desktop, any idea if that is an easy fix?

I have no idea if this is even possible, but I have a webpage on an apache server on a raspberry pi within a pool hall. I have added some images that show when upcoming pool tournaments are, etc. Additionally, I have a marquee that scrolls across the bottom of the page that shows players names of matches in progress etc. I cast this page to a TV. My issue is that it seems that the font of the marquee (no matter what I set it to) comes out as plain old default arial font. Is there any way for dashcast to be able notice fonts? Also it's possible I've not tested enough different fonts to determine if they all default to arial, but the few I've tried do.

Hi,

I tried this wonderful package to cast a custom dashboard to my Google Nest Hub.
But the cast is streaming during 10min.. and close it :(

Do you have any solution ?

Hello,

I'm using Pychromecast which seem to use Dashcast.
With this, can I display any website on my Chromecast or Nest Hub ?
If not, what should I do on the website source to make it compatible ?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I can't find any "clear" doc on this :)

We are using this to display our build status and the content is larger than the display size.

• visit page
• put in url
• select "force display"
• click go
• nothing happens
• on chrome developer console I see:
  (index):235 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestSession' of undefined
  at sendMessage ((index):235)
  at HTMLDivElement.go_button.onclick ((index):283)

Is there a recommended path for showing secured pages? We have dashboards that are behind authorization in third party apps that we'd like to push to a screen. right now the only path is to share those directly from a chrome tab.

Hi,

After the Nest Hub is updated to Fuchsia it stops if I cast home assistant after 30 seconds now instead of 10 minutes as before.

Would it be possible to Use disableIdleTimeout as mentioned in Google docs?

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/web_receiver/cast.framework.CastReceiverOptions

window.castReceiverManager.start({statusText: "Application is starting", disableIdleTimeout: true});

when trying to cast a youtube playlist from chromebrowser to dashcast, my chromecast ultra shows a consent.youtube.com page where it will have me to enter accept. but since its a chromecast I cant enter anything.
Anyone know why and a workaround.
The tv cant control the chromecast with hdmi cec, but would that be a solution, if I try to connect one time to a cec compatible tv to get the consent accept?

Hi, something is happened with dashcast after Chrome update, it is not working any more!

The cast resolution with Dashcast is lower than 720p, on the new chromecast by google (white).

Is there a way to cast intranet webpages via Dashcast?

Currently it currently does not work if the URL is not seen publicly online.

The DashCast stop working in last chrome version.

I have chrome v. 72.0.3626.119 (64 bit) running on windows 7 SP 1. Since update to this Google Chrome version Chromecast dashboard stops working.

I have follow message in developer console when I click "Go":

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'requestSession' of undefined
at sendMessage ((index):235)
at HTMLDivElement.go_button.onclick ((index):283)
sendMessage @ (index):235
go_button.onclick @ (index):283
