chef 3746 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Just wondering if there is a way through the API to send a measage to chromecast to load emby before I send any play commands or attempt to locate sessions?

Luke 37096 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 No because the session has to be user-initiated from one of the casting apps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3746 Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Hmmm.... This commandline opens youtube curl -H “Content-Type: application/json” http://CHROMECAST_IP:8008/apps/YouTube -X POST -d ‘v=oHg5SJYRHA0′ To a specific video. Wonder if emby opens the same way? Edit: darn, I really wanted Alexa to play on command with chromecast, but emby has to be running to send the command to the session.
