I've set up the Chromecast SDK, whitelisted my device, and am running web servers at the URLs I provided in the whitelist request. The chromecast tic tac toe app works fine with the default app id "TicTacToe" , however changing it to my own: "1813060e-33c5-41dc-b356-0d2bad12497f" or "1813060e-33c5-41dc-b356-0d2bad12497f_1" does not work. The server url is up and running at http://chromecast.clockworkmod.com/ , but no requests are being made to it by Chromecast. The chromecast doesn't display anything. However I get a few errors in the log. Here is the logcat. W/StartSessionTask(15590):

Does the content stream from WiFi directly to Chromecast, or from WiFi to Android (or any other device) to Chromecast? I know that the other devices can be used to control the Chromecast, but I just want to know whether say you can stream directly from your mobile due say to battery life. The mobile device is only used for the initial content discovery phase where the user selects a video stream to watch. Once playback is initiated, the Chromecast device connects to the internet over WiFi and downloads the stream data without requiring the mobile device to be turned on. More details available

Short I would like to stream multiple overlapping audio files (some sound effects that play at certain random times). So kind of a generated audio stream that will NEVER repeat exactly the same way. Some audio files are looping, some are at specific times. Probably kind of realtime stream insertion would be good I guess. What is the best way to write such a server software? What protocols should be used for streaming that (I prefer over HTTP). I would probably want to expose an url for each configuration (tracks & timing of sound effects). Any pointers to code/libraries? Best if in any

I have a custom receiver app (html page + js and css) that contains just an iframe for testing. I load the receiver app locally on the same Wi-Fi network as the ChromeCast. The thing is, it connects fine, then loads the iframe and everything is cool, but after a fix time of 21 secs (everytime), I get a error code 15 timeout. I've tried and set the maxInactivity to 6000 in appConfig, but made no difference. Any ideas what could possibly be wrong? Worth mentioning is that I've also tried to put the receiver app on a domain and made no difference. Edit: Adding some receiver logs, as requested.

I am trying to play an HLS stream on my chromecast custom receiver. However i'm having authentication issues fetching the m3u8 files because my server requires a cookie. The request to get the root m3u8 file has a 'Set-Cookie' header which needs to be considered when fetching the sub-m3u8 files in my stream (to pass server authentication). I would like to know if its possible to have cookies set when the receiver app fetches the media. Try something like: window.mediaHost = new cast.player.api.Host({ 'mediaElement': window.mediaElement, 'url': url }); window.mediaHost.updateManifestRequestInfo

I have successfully used the Android TicTacToe app to cast to the TicTacToe receiver app (AppID "TicTacToe"), using unmodified code from the TicTacToe example on github . Next, I tried to use my personal receiver app. I got the email a couple of hours letting me know that my device was whitelisted and providing the AppID. I put the AppID in line 90 on GameActivity.java (not line 91, as stated in the instructions), and I also put it in line 35 of tictactoe.html (this step was missing from the instructions, but I assume it is needed). I also followed all steps in the Common Errors section of the

It apparently works on Google TV (for Android apps, not html5 apps), so I'm curious if we'll be able to encode them as HLS (Http Live Streaming) for use with Chromecast? It will now according to the updated SDK docs: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media I'm guessing for contentType on MediaInfo you'll pass application/x-mpegURL . HLS is not yet built into the platform, however support for
