Latchmor 584 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Luke! I have chromecast set up! But it is not showing up in the "play to" devices in the web client. Is there any special trick to it? Have you got another cast enabled app on phone to test with. Netflix or YouTube? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Yes, YouTube works It should show up in the list of devices? My Xbox shows up. Edited June 5, 2015 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Mmm, I've had mine ages, can't remember anything special to do... Are you trying from phone app as you could try on desktop or vice versa... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I have tried from my desktop (web client) and also from the web client on my iPhone. The chromecast doesn't show up under my network devices in Windows. Should it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Ah, hold on there is a chromecast extension to install if I remember correctly. Give that a Google. No it doesn't show anywhere on PC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maleficarum 68 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 have you installed the chromecast extension in chrome? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 No I haven't done that yet. I thought maybe emby would just show it as a device to send play commands to. I wish there where an override in emby where I could input devices on my network (their IP address). Do you think that the chrome extension will help me?

Latchmor 584 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 The extension is needed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yes! Thank you. Is there any documentation on that anywhere? Also, is there any sort of plugin that could be created in order to get it working without the extension? Just wondering if it is a road worth traveled.

Luke 37128 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 why not just install the extension? i will add those instructions to the website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchmor 584 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I guess it's because you were jumping straight into Emby. I had mine ages before Emby could use it so I used Netflix, YouTube etc then tried casting chrome tabs which needs the extension. Anyway, Luke adding some extra instructions so that's cool.
