Ninja Sphere - Chromecast Driver
Introduction
This is a driver for the Google Chromecast, allowing it to be used as part of Ninja Sphere.
It currently only supports applications that export the "urn:x-cast:com.google.cast.media" namespace, though that will be expanded as other namespaces are found and documented.
Supported Sphere Protocols
| Name | URI | Supported Events | Supported Methods |
|---|---|---|---|
| volume | http://schema.ninjablocks.com/protocol/volume | set, volumeUp, volumeDown, mute, unmute, toggleMute | state |
| media-control | http://schema.ninjablocks.com/protocol/media-control | play, pause, togglePlay | playing, paused, stopped, buffering, busy, idle, inactive |
To Do
-
Add the media protocol, to gain media meta-data and play position/seeking.
-
Finish the media-control protocol support, adding next/previous/stop etc.
-
Add additional support for the Plex applcation, collecting advanced meta-data from the Plex Server's REST api.
-
See if notifications are possible without using a custom application (i.e. by adjusting the current player's CSS, or using additional namespaces)
-
Expand support for other applications, especially to pull extra meta-data (i.e. YouTube)
Can't Do
- Owing to private APIs, the Netflix application can't currently be supported.
Requirements
- Go 1.3
