Hello,
I could only praise this Google Tv box. I think it will take an important place in the family multimedia universe.
What I would like is to be able to integrate discover into the main office
Do you have any suggestions on this?
Thank you in advance for your help

Chromecast makes it easy to enjoy all of your favorite online content on a TV screen with the simple press of a button on your phone, tablet or laptop. We want to make it easier for that content to get to your TV, so today we’re releasing the Google Cast Software Development Kit (SDK) for developers who want to build Chromecast support into their apps and websites. For the rest of us, that means even more of our favorite movies, TV shows and music will become available on Chromecast as developers work with the SDK. Just be on the lookout for the cast button in your favorite apps and websites across Android, iOS and Chrome.
If you’re a developer looking to bring your content to the big screen, head on over to the Google Developers Blog for a deep dive into the nuts and bolts of it all. Meanwhile, for everyone else, a current list of apps that work with Chromecast can be found at chromecast.com/apps. Happy casting!

So I assume this means we will soon be able to cast our full screens to our Chromecasts very soon! Let's Rejoice! And don't forget to thank the devs!
Mods please delete the thread I was just a little too late in posting this
Hello,
i've searched a lot on the forum and on google, the only thing i've found is a plugin for Tasker called AutoCast... but it doesn't work very well
My question is: does anyone knows if there is a simple way to autoconnect the YouTube app to the first available Chromecast?
I need this for my father, because he wants to view youtube on his 42" HDTV
his smartphone disconnects too frequently from chromecast.
Thanks in advance
I don't believe it's possible. You might have to check tutorials on how to use taker with auto cast, I believe it can do wonders if used right
First off I would like to say that I am not an expert. I know just enough to be dangerous
I am partners in a small video/photo business. We have a large 60 inch TV in our main editing space. There are a few things that are very important to us. We live and die by our calendar and need to constantly monitor our social media. I was wondering if there is a system already out there that could meet my needs.
I would like to be able to display a google calendar as well as a couple social media feeds and maybe the weather. Anyone know of anything?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone!
After I found out that not only Chromecast 4k but also Sony Android TVs with Chromecast-Built-In would downscale every static content to FullHD or even 720p (to let the TV upscale this again) I wonder if maybe te new Chromecast (with Google TV) can cast Fotos to UHD TVs in adequate resolution. Haven't found anything on the net as well as herein.
Any other idea to cast from mobile android devices to a TV (not limited to android) in high tesolution is welcome of course.
Finally found this in the google support forum and the answer disappointinly is NO

Anyone who is interested in this topic can upvote it there.
I really wonder what is the technical limitation for this in the year 2021
There is no technical reason why it can't display high resolution images. My bet is that their stupid fancy slide transitions don't work well at high resolutions. Try using something BESIDES google photos. You probably shouldn't be using that software anyway, since it steals all your data and uploads it to google -- pretty creepy if you ask me, just imagine how you'd feel if somebody YOU KNOW had software on your phone that gave them access to all your data!
Google Photos is just the most prominent example, as one might expect that google products should work together.
And I am not aware of any other cloud based app that can cast photos via Chromecast. The only solution seems to be via the Photoguru-App, but this just works with FireTV and NVidia Shield and not with chomecast.
I am using Google Photos for certain purposes only, but rest assured that I'm on my way of finding a differend solution for this, too.
Hello Everyone!
I’m working on a business project for my University course and had a brief Yes/No question I’m hoping someone on the forum could answer: Is it theoretically possible for someone to customise the Google Cast software to trigger periodic auto play of commercial ads when someone is trying to cast their content onto a TV equipped with Google Cast?
To illustrate my point, imagine you have someone trying to cast their Netflix show from their mobile device onto a TV with a Chomecast Dongle. When this person triggers the request to play their content on the TV, the Google Chromecast would be configured to play a 60 second commercial before allowing said person to watch their content. Could this be possible? Would the Google Cast API allow you to customise the software in this way?
Kindest,
Ama

Any one have an idea about this?
from the user-facing perspective, I don't think it's possible. when one device casts, then another one does, it doesn't resume the first cast automatically when the 2nd cast ends.
I suppose if you start digging into the internals, you could get somewhere, but from a user facing perspective, one cast stream ends the prior, so once you play that 60s commercial, the cast ends

In theory if you had root access to the device, you cold make it do whatever.
Normal circumstances though would be no. All the Chromecast does is fetch the content on its own. You "casting" basically tells the Chromecast to make a request to xyz and start playing. You maintain an open session to the local API for basic controls. Not only is the API traffic encrypted, even if you were able to maliciously redirect the cc to your source the user would be like wtf and click cast again, starting the whole process over.
What you're trying to do isn't really feasible with the Cast SDK and actually violates the terms of service since it interferes with basic expected functionality. That said, it is possible with some other creative methods. It would require you to be in control of the network the Chromecasts are on and act as a command bridge of sorts between the user devices and the Chromecasts. Lots of work for getting ad revenue that is questionably violating terms of service.
