API: anyway to tell chromecast to load emby?


Recommended Posts

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?

No because the session has to be user-initiated from one of the casting apps.

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.
