Hi all,
I'm going to start hacking on the ChromeCast... to boot or run a tiny Linux distro, and also to run homebrew apps without the necessity of the whitelisting process, etc. I'll be keeping a log of my work at chromecastdev.com. Collaboration is welcome.
The first thing I'm going to play with is trying to dump the bootloader (resides in the little NAND on the Marvell SOC?).

I wish you luck in your conquest!
Hopefully developers on this forum can do some cool stuff with Chromecast!
Port it to Raspberry Pi. *fingers crossed*
Wait, it's an enclosed system, how do you plan to snoop it?
Ethernet over HDMI or the USB port could provide a path. Also there is a header inside it looks like that isn't listed as a spec so it could be a serial/JTAG point. High hopes for this getting hacked and running an XBMC or Plex client, although I guess Plex web might be fine.

I don't know if you've already found it, but there are various source files available here. Bootloader sources are in the "sdk" repo. A cursory glance at them makes it seem like you can boot from a USB device by holding down the button on boot, but the image needs to be signed by Google.
any chance you can take some high-res photos of the pcb? The marvell chip isn't listed on the marvell website yet, would be great if we could find a block diagram.
I would sink porting Android would be the best step right now as this is an android forum and is younger brother ran android
Just my opinion.

Thanks tchebb!!! And here I thought I was finally going to have a reason to play with a logic analyzer to try to dump the bootloader off the bus.
Edit: Well, maybe it's not that simple after all. They didn't include everything... for instance, pin_settings.h is missing.

Yeah, the source doesn't seem to be in a buildable state. I was thinking there might be something like an Android repo manifest.xml to bring all those git repos together into one source tree, but I couldn't find anything like that. Also, like you said, there are lots of missing files referenced in the build scripts.
I found the link to the source after downloading the Chromecast app (my device hasn't arrived yet) and letting it scan and fail to find anything. It directed me here, which has the Google Code link in the "What's Under the Hood?" entry.
The other interesting documentation I found is here, specifically the part about pressing "Apps" seven times to enable developer mode (very reminiscent of dev mode on new Android versions). It's unclear whether that just exposes additional info in the desktop app or actually sends a packet to the Chromecast to enable some sort of on-device dev mode.
Once I get mine, the first thing I want to do is get a full packet capture of the setup and update process, and some sample network traffic generated by normal use.

The only thing that works for me is starting a youtube video from the Android youtube app.
No controls yet, it is not implemented.
Tab casting from Chrome spawns an empty chrome window.
Other Chromecast apps (Play Music) do not detect leapcast yet, or more precisely detects it but do not show the cast button.

I found some extra settings on the Chromecast extension for Chrome.
So I went to my Chrome extensions window and clicked "Options" for the Google Cast extension.
In the tab, I right clicked > Inspect Element.
I noticed that a section of the page had a "display: none;" so I removed that and got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Oh really nice find!
Just tested this and confirmed. The line you are looking for is highlighted in the image.
Needs Reciever app?
Man I thought i was onto something with the whole URL for Flinging Command.
Apparently some have seen in the SDK that an example video using the big buck bunny video url could be casted. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2332706&page=2
USER: vshah
the sample code, for example, simply passes this URL to chromecast to play "big buck bunny"
http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/VfE_html5.mp4
if smb shares are supported by chromecast, then i see no reason why it shouldn't work.
Click to expand...

Also a great idea by user blackdogdeek
Forgive my possible ignorance, but couldn't you just run a web server on your smb box and give the URL of your local vid stash?
ie - pass http://192.168.1.10/public_html/vids/movie.mp4 to chromecast
Click to expand...

So we need to figure out how to initiate the fling command? Is there a receiver app in the SDK kit or something?
I'm a total noob when it comes to this but this has my jimmies rustled and i'm excited about the possibilities.
I posted about this 2 days ago:

Google SDK
Whitelisting Chrome apps
To permit your Chrome sender application to use the SDK, you must register the application's domain in the Google Cast extension for Chrome.
Be sure you are running Chrome version 28 or later.
If you haven't restarted Chrome in a while you may be running an older version; restarting will update Chrome automatically.
In the Chrome omnibox, enter chrome://extensions, and check the Developer mode checkbox to enable developer mode.
Install the Chrome extension for Google Cast.
On the Cast icon in Chrome's upper right corner, click four (4) times.
In the Cast extension, scroll to the Developer options.
In the Cast SDK additional domains field, click Add and enter the domain of your application, for example, "www.mydomain.com."
Code your application's HTML tag as follows:
<html data-cast-api-enabled=”true”>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I couldnt get the above to work but I found it in the options by removing the display:none from <section ng-show="doubleClicks > 1" style="">
So someone who gets "White Listed" could try sending a URL to the ChromeCast?
Edit: So someone can start making a webpage that uses this correctly and just add that domain to the Chromecast extensions whitelist?

Adding the domain is just a way of telling your extension that the domain is serving a chromecast receiver. They haven't opened the floodgates for developers so they are keep everything controlled, hence the whitelist process. You do "send" a URL to the chromecast but it's really just for the chrome extension to know that a websocket can be opened for the receiver site and the client (the chrome extension).
Someone else found the same thing and posted it on Reddit. Here's the link
Also note that the user Ranek520 said: "Unfortunately, none of those advanced options are actually hooked up. The JavaScript to store or load the values is removed for the release version of the extension. That's why the values are all blank.
Source: I wrote the max frame rate option."
So currently these options do nothing.
Nice find! Thanks!

Still, they are for a reason. I guess they are waiting for a future update to activate them, or may be some dormant hardware like LTE in Nexus 4.
Anyway, it opens the door to many possibilities...
Ugh I wish I could get this on Android. With certain variations of these settings, the connection is so much better on my Chromebook than it is on any of my android devices.
Thanks, very good

Hi,
As an owner of NGT I've decided to start programming in java and android API. Let me introduce my first project.
As I rooted my device I was missing Library launcher, ralaunch was fine but I was looking for shelves supporting launcher, epub launcher was nice but limited. So, I decided to fill the gap. I was inspired by nook library, which I think was very well designed.
For now it's in alpha stage and for easier developing it's as application, in future I'll make it as a launcher.
So, here are the screen-shots of actual developing state:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm using Calibre and its meta attributes:
<meta content="shelf name" name="calibre:series"/>
<meta content="1" name="calibre:series_index"/>
calibre:series_index is treated as integer, not as a float so if you have it as float, let me know.
Please let me know what you think about it. Let me know which features or ideas you wished to have in this app.
If anybody could contribute pictograms icons which will fit better, let me know.
---- uploaded first pre-alpha version of app ---
v0.1 - limitations:
scanning of ebooks is limited only to whole /sdcard/, no internal memory is scanned,
file browser don't remember locations, always start from root,
file browser don't have a bookmarks yet,
epub file's attribute "calibre:series" is treated as integer value, so 1.5 is 2, 1.4 is 1. Anybody uses fractions on this attribute?
sorting is done on re-run of app or on refreshing library, to be fixed,
for now, only epub filetype is handled,
searching doesn't work,
no preferences yet
v0.2
fixed adding of shelves
fixed scanning of whole /sdcard/
v0.3
added working bookmarks
added root access in manifest (in future will be used in "my file" browser to get access to blocked paths)
some general fixes
Let me know what you think about it.
Cheers

Yes yes yes! THIS IS GOOD!
I've uploaded first version of my app. Hope that'll work for you.
Nice app, thanx! :thumbup:

Looks great - thanks! For future versions, I'd love to be able to do a dual-sort starting with genre tag so you could show shelves by tag then by series (so you could just see your SciFi series for example) or tag then by author etc. Thanks for the good work.
Hi,
New version uploaded, more info in first post.
Due to some manifest changes in code which fail to run I must upload again to have it working
Cheers.
I'm extremely impressed, especially considering that you said you have just started programming. Very good start sir! :thumbup::beer:

Thanks, I've learned C/++ for years, so learning Java was quite easy. The biggest problem was Android API, which is complex, especially API 7 which lacks many features.
Good work! I like the way this library app opens AlReader by default and allows the standard Nook library to open the stock reader by default. I have one feature request. As many of the third party readers will open .mobi files as well as .epub, can this library be modified to use both? My practice is to have my non-DRM books in .mobi format to open with AlReader so that they do not even show up in the stock library app which I use for B&N content only. I find this a effective way to separate the two different forms of content.

Hi, I plan to add mobi/pdf/epub only the question is how to handle this, altogether or separate in tabs.
Beside I'll add scan paths. So, for mobi we could set one dir and exclude it from scanning.

Actually, for my purposes, there is no need to separate .epub and .mobi. Your app will not be able to read B/N DRMed epubs anyway. For me, if it just picked up .mobi files when it does a library scan and displayed then alongside DRM free epubs, that would be fine.
Again, thanks for the great work on this.

I really like the app, but it can't seem to get it to work properly. I only get three or four shelves to start and I can set the view to all to see all my ebook files. This view shows all of the books but without an authors name, shows null null. Hitting the refresh button the app rescans the device and shows all the authors on the books. Switching the view to shelves does not carry over, hitting the refresh button does not change the shelves shown. Going throughout the option menu to delete data and then rescan does nothing as well. Any ideas? Can post the debug if needed
Also for future dev adding the file types cbr/Cbz for comic books would be awesome. Showing them inline with other shelves or on a separate tab would be cool
Hi
I was oo for a while. Could you PM me debug, I'll look for it. Strenge, as ebook should be readed all the time the same way.
sorry about the two seperate pms but the first is what it normally looks like and the second is when i rescan files in the all files view.
Feature request. Sync with google play books or any other service that have upload and page sync. I want to be able to upload books on my phone and sync over to nook.
Hi, I'll look how that could be achieved. I had a plan to make my own build of reader with sources and add reading with last page shown in library app.
Sent from Umi Zero - Tapatalk
This app is exactly what I have been looking for. However, I installed it on my NST and have similar issues as above. Also when I try to assign books to a shelf it will add some but not all that I have selected and will add some random books as well.
I hope the developer keeps working on this app.

*** Now based on Eureka ROM 44433.01 ***
I have created a custom ROM (based on latest Eureka mod version 44433.01) that will let you play local media files without any wifi or other devices to control it.
It essentially becomes a self contained media player.
Media files can be stored either locally on the internal flash, or from an attached USB memory.
Playback is controlled by the button on the device.
What it does:
#1 - Getting the device to start up without network
Google has made a lot of checks to ensure the device is connected to the internet before it lets you start up.
- cast_shell and net_mgr makes http requests to google servers. I have patched those binaries so they make requests to the local web server instead.
- The device make a dns lookup sent to server 8.8.8.8. I have worked around that by creating an alias for 8.8.8.8 on the local host and run a dns server.
- The device will not finish booting until it has received an updated time from pool.ntp.org. This is fixed by adding pool.ntp.org as 127.0.0.1 in the hosts file, and locally running a sntp server.
Those workarounds will let the device start up normally even when network is missing.
The scripts are made so they only do something when we do not have internet. For normal connected usage none of the above is performed.
When we have detected that there is no internet (if we fail to get a new time from NTP server), the above fixes are performed.
After this the system may have a "brain freeze", but wait until the idle screen is back up again and it will be finished.
#2 - A cast sender that talks to the device and tells it what media to play.
To actually play any media files I have created a media player with a cast protocol implementation that talks to the device locally, and a cast sender implementation.
In addition there is a cast receiver app on the local web server.
An FTP server is also started at boot to make it easier to load media onto the internal flash.
HOWTO Install
1: Before you start you should set the Whitelist Provider to "Locally Stored" in the Eureka ROM Device settings.
A custom whitelist is required so we can have a local idle screen and also for the media player to work
2: Flash the zip-file like any other flashcast zip, and wait until it reboots.
Now the device is prepared with all the rCast files, but it's not yet activated. So far it is almost identical to the Eureka ROM, except for patches to cast_shell, net_mgr and a fix to launch user scripts during boot.
3: Login to the CC using telnet and run the following commands
Code:
busybox cp /system/rcast/apps.conf.template /data/eureka/apps.conf
busybox cp /system/rcast/user_boot_script.sh.template /data/user_boot_script.sh
chmod 755 /data/user_boot_script.sh
Reboot the device.
You should now be good to go.
To remove rCast features, remove or edit /data/user_boot_script.sh. This is the file that actually launches all the rCast features
HOWTO Control Media playback
The device only has one button so it is used for all control. Every command is a sequence of long and short presses.
a short press is < 1 second, a long press is > 1 second.
When there has not been any button pressings for 1 second the command times out and is executed.
Play/Pause: 1 short press.
Next video: 2 short presses
Previous video: 3 short presses.
Stop playback: 1 long press
HOWTO upload media files
Find out the ip-address of the device and connect with a FTP client.
All videos are placed in /data/rcast/videos are included in the playlist.
Reboot the device. The playlist is created during the start phase.
Currently only mp4 files are supported.
Download ROM
rCast 1.1.1 based on Eureka ROM 44433.01 available HERE
This version does not work properly when there is no wifi. It works when there is wifi, but no internet.

Thanks to @tchebb and @ddggttff3 for answering some questions I had about the Eureka ROM, and of course the entire Eureka team for making their ROM.
Awesome to see new development still on these devices. In your post you say attached USB storage and I guess rooting means a usb otg isn't hard to come by, but do those files have to be in a specific folder as well?
This is incredible work and super useful!
I take it, if you use a Y power cable and USB Flash Drive (FAT32?) it will add those mp4's to the playlist too?
Cheers Rob.

No, they do not have to be in a specific folder on the USB storage.
All mp4 files on the USB stick will be included in the playlist.

Yeah, I use the same USB-storage + Y-cable for power that I use while flashing ROMs.
The USB drive I use is prepared by flashcast during the rooting process, but I suppose it will work also for any regular USB drive.
THIS is the reason I want to keep root. Cool new functions.
Don't think I will use this method but it's awesome to see the potential what can be done.

The web page is still there with all the settings. This rom removes no functionality from the original rom. Except for the few patches to binary files mentioned in the first post.
If you have it set to allow eureka OTA updates, I believe it will overwrite my changes when they decide to send out an update. But I'm not 100% sure how those updates work...
To telnet into the Chromecast, how? Using the 8.8.8.8 IP? Same with FTP?

There is no difference about the ip-address compared to Eureka ROM, when it is connected to a network.
Just use the Chromecast settings app, it will show you the ip.

No, 2gen Chromecast is not yet rooted. And who knows, if ever will be.
First post has now been updated with link to sources at github.
Some of the build scripts are a bit messy because I don't have any toolchain for chromecast, and had to use the toolchain for android instead.
But hopefully you can understand what is going on anyway.
Will you update your ROM to 44433 now, when @Team-Eureka release their new rooted build?

I'm on vacation right now, but when I get home I will update it.
That might take a few weeks though.
Even on the fairly generous display of my Nexus 6, working in Tasker can be a bit tedious, especially over protracted periods of time. I like a full sized keyboard and a mouse. I like being able to develop ideas on my laptop with multiple monitors; work in multiple full featured editors; move things around to suit my whims; cut and paste text and files as the need arises.
I have an HP Elitebook running Win10. The N6 is not rooted. Currently, the display of my N6 is mirrored to a window on my laptop (which I can resize[!]). The laptop keyboard and mouse now work with my N6. From my PC I can do anything on my N6 from change settings, to cut 'n paste, to move files and to program and test Tasker in its native environment. Want to know how? It's easy. I had this set up in about 3 minutes.
This is all thanks to a Chrome extension call Vysor (by ClockworkMod).

There are a few drawbacks, most notably with a little display latency. But depending what hardware you are using, how many things you have running at once and how you've configured, your mileage will probably vary. Me? I'm happy.
Sorry about the link. I'm new to the forum. Need a few more posts before URLs are enabled. But I just thought I would add that I am working on an organization chart and a flow-control flowchart for organizing more complex Tasker projects. I need this stuff or I get lost and run down rabbit trails.
I'm a pretty visually oriented kind of guy. That is one reason that Vysor has proven to be valuable to me. I can have my word processor with the charts and development notes open, XML displayed in Notepad++, two File Explorer windows for easily transferring files, cut 'n paste available so I can grab from my lists of Profile, Tasks and Variable names and Audacity open for making quick, down and dirty notification MP3s (like voicing over a Star Trek 'incoming message' sound effect with, "Captain, you have a voice message".) OK, I'm a little geeky.

I just checked the article again. No problem. Let's try this another way. Have you looked for the Chrome extension Vysor? The article "By Jack Wallen | August 28, 2015, 4:11 AM PST" says in part:
From the Chrome browser, go to the Vysor page, click ADD TO CHROME, and then click Add (when prompted). Now, if you click the Apps button (upper left corner of the Chrome window, under the bookmark toolbar), you should see the Vysor app ready to launch.
Prepping your device
In order for this to work, you must enable USB debugging on your Android device. This is simple. First, you must enable Developer options. Here's how:
Open Settings
Locate and tap About Phone
Locate Build number
Tap Build number seven times
Tap the back button
Locate and tap the newly added Developer options
To enable USB debugging, do the following:
Open Settings
Locate and Tap Developer options
Tap to enable USB debugging
Plug your device, via USB, into the computer running Vysor. Once connected, click on the Chrome Apps button, and then click on the Vysor launcher. A new window will appear with a Find Devices button. Click that button, and your device should instantly appear
Highlight your device, and then click the Select button. On your device, you'll be prompted to accept the computers RSA fingerprint. Click OK on that window, and the Vysor mirror window should appear displaying the screen from your Android device.
Hope this helps...
Teamviewer works too to do the same job
Hi philippe734 and thanks. TeamViewer is a great piece of software. But it is a little overkill for this purpose. It is also cloud based and therefore presents certain security concerns. I didn't know if you were aware, but InfoSecurity, the online magazine, has linked TeamViewer with the ransomware, Surprise! http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/surprise-ransomware-spreading-via/
I'm no security expert, but I'm using Vysor over a USB link from within Chrome. My home network has no WiFi router and my Cloud account is pretty much a one-way proposition. I try to keep everything local except those things I upload to share or conversely, to put out of reach of anyone that might take possession of my phone (such as dashcam videos and other types of recordings).
Hello everyone, I'm digitalhigh, and I'll be your driver for this fun ride.
This is the new official home of Phlex.
What is Phlex? Phlex is a PHP Web application I've written that allows you to link your Google Home with your Plex collection and control playback to any device on the network capable of speaking Plex or Cast.
In addition, Phlex supports integration with Couchpotato, Sonarr, Radarr, and Sickbeard, allowing you to add media directly to your watch lists in any of these apps, giving you total voice control over your media collection!
Phlex is currently in a very early Beta, meaning there are still bugs to be worked out, and various minor annoyances and issues that have yet to be fully resolved. However, the vast majority of scenarios should work, and it can only get better as the project matures!!
To get started, all you have to do is hope on over to https://github.com/d8ahazard/Phlex and follow the instructions to get things set up. You will need to either install a webserver via Xampp (this is all in the instructions), or clone/download Phlex into an existing webserver. Once set up, you'll need to forward a port to Phlex so it can talk to the outside world, and then register your client with the Main Phlex server in order to allow account linking with Goooogle.
Optionally, you can set up a custom URL for your server if you have dynamic DNS, reverse proxy, etc. set up.
Once all the fun setup and networking hoops have been jumped through, you can browse to the web interface on your phone and copy your client's API token into your clipboard.
Ask your google home to talk to "Flex TV", and go into the Home app and finish linking your account using your copied API token. Presto talko. You can now ask Flex TV to play movies and shows, pause/stop/seek/etc. You can ask it to fetch a movie or show, and it'll do it.
Here's a little demo video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZBlNwBocAc
I'll be updating this thread as time allows, but I wanted to get things rolling as soon as I could over here so folks could try it out. It sure seems as if the gHome thread could use a little action.

This one too
I had to 'reinstall' phlex on my webserver, but somehow i can't link my plex anymore.
I tried to redo everything, removed the phlex 'device' from my plex account, but when I login to phlex i don't get to see my plex device, api key is blanc etc.
Is there a way to really start from scratch? (deleting the files on the webserver and copying them from the zip file didn't make a difference)
Would love to try this as a docker container.
Any plans for integration with nzbget?
Huge potential! Thanks! I see some issues, but I'll make a couple issues on GitHub.

I have zero experience with creating docker containers. However, another web app I've contributed heavily to, Muximux, is already maintained by Linuxserver.io. My thought is that it's probably going to be very non-trivial to modify the docker-muximux package to run Phlex. I'll work on this as time allows, but there are more pressing things on my list in front of this.

"Plans" would indicate that I thought any of this out beyond "Man, wouldn't it be neat if I could...". No, no direct plans, but I'm always open to suggestions and requests. If there's an API for it, then I'm happy to include support for it in Phlex.

Yes it does. If you look in the Play Store, most of the NZB manager apps that talk to Sonarr, CP, Headphones, Mylar, Sickbeard, SABNZBD, etc... also are compatible with NZBGet. I like it a lot more than SAB.
https://github.com/nzbget/nzbget/wiki/API
I would also suggest that you consider publishing a Synology Disk Station Manager compatible package if you want wide adoption.
404 not found
Hi man,
Great project, but have some issues with adding Chromecast and getting a 404 error on the background. Any thoughts?

That would be really cool! Do you know anybody who knows how to roll a DSM package? I looked into it a while ago, but never got around to learning.
For both the DSM and docker packages, if anybody out there has the know-how, contributions are welcome!

Did you enable sockets in php.ini? That's needed for chromecast devices. The background I'll fix today.

Thank you for your quick reply, it looks like it's enabled when I request my phpInfo():

Any specific settings I need to apply in php.ini? Fyi, I'm running Centos 7 PHP 5.6.30 in combination with Nginx.

I don't think cast/sockets is working yet, but I was happy enough to get it running that I thought I'd share.
It works great but I can only control the chrome player on the server, none of my other devices, I cannot see any other devices. Is there any php voodoo i'm missing?
It does see them in the XML if i look at the logs.

I have the same problem, its not regenerating an API key + not connecting to plex after trying to restart from scratch

I ended up having to reinstall xampp to fix similar issues. Still having issues with it not connecting to my Plex Server though. It connects to my remote server, but not the one that's running on the same machine, so it's weird.

Is this on Windows? Is the firewall possibly blocking Xampp?

No, I have the windows firewall completely disabled. I think it's having trouble getting the Plex Token for the local server.
My bad, it's just not working with OPEN-PHT
I/Tue, 21 Mar 2017 18:51:51 -0500: fetchDevices: Device Plex Web (Chrome) provides client player pubsub-player
I/Tue, 21 Mar 2017 18:51:51 -0500: fetchDevices: Device DESKTOP-E0MLK8T provides player
that is wierd I can use any of my plex devices to control it....is there a workaround for this?
Scratch that, latest OPEN-PHT prerelease works.
Now I just need GHome to stop saying that Flex TV isnt responding. Do we need the Apache and public port to match?
When I installed, I linked through phlex's settings page. Google redirected me and said it was linked. When I tried to use it, it did not work. To fix this, I needed to load up Google Home on my Android phone, search for Flex, add it, link it, manually type in the api key, and then it was linked.
But, now I'm stuck. Phlex will not talk to my plex server.
It shows my server under phlex settings|Playback Server. But when I click test, it says "Error: MyPlex not available". Trying to tell google home to ask what's playing, it responds with "It doesn't look like there's anything playing right now"
Pull the latest commits, I think this should fix your issue.
