GoogleCast

Implementation of the Google Cast protocol (.NET Standard 2.0 library).

This documentation was really helpful to understand the protocol.

These two others C# projects were also helpful to implement the protocol : SharpCast and SharpCaster.

Usage

// Use the DeviceLocator to find a Chromecast
var receiver = (await new DeviceLocator().FindReceiversAsync()).First();

var sender = new Sender();
// Connect to the Chromecast
await sender.ConnectAsync(receiver);
// Launch the default media receiver application
var mediaChannel = sender.GetChannel<IMediaChannel>();
await sender.LaunchAsync(mediaChannel);
// Load and play Big Buck Bunny video
var mediaStatus = await mediaChannel.LoadAsync(
    new MediaInformation() { ContentId = "http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4" });

For Website casting purpose, with a static address

// Connect to the Chromecast
await sender.ConnectAsync(
                        new Receiver
                        {
                            IPEndPoint = new System.Net.IPEndPoint(
                                IPAddress.Parse("10.0.0.2"),
                                8009
                            )
                        });

// Launch the default media receiver application
var castChannel = sender.GetChannel<ICastChannel>();
await sender.LaunchAsync(castChannel);

// Load an example website
await castChannel.LoadUrl(new CastInformation { Url = "https://www.example.com" });
