CTChromecast

CTChromecast is a collection of classes to make integrating Chromecast support into an existing iOS video player easier.

CTChromecastMoviePlayerController provides a drop in replacement for MPMoviePlayerController to support casting videos to Chromecast

Usage

CTChromecastMoviePlayerController *player = [[CTChromecastMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL: url];
player.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view addSubview: player.view];    
[player play];

When chromecast device(s) are detected a button allowing for device selection will be shown along side the volume sider
