Debugger extension for Chromecast receiver apps

Chromecast.Debugger

Debugger extension for Chromecast receiver apps

How to use:

• Install the extension by manually adding the extension in Chrome and pointing to the "ext" folder (see Chrome options -> More Tools -> Extensions)
• Configure the commands for the extension in the options (options page is accessible by right clicking on the extension icon)
• Add the script on the receiver page (already done in the Quizcast app)
• Use the script proxy calls (see example below) to subscribe to Chromecast events instead of original one (the proxy will detect whether page is in Chromecast or emulated automatically)
• Run the commands from the extension icon in the top-right corner

Example of the proxy receiver registration:

window.quizcast.CastEmulator.register(context, playerManager); window.quizcast.CastEmulator.addCustomMessageListener(CHANNEL_URL, (customEvent) => { console.log('>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CUSTOM EVENT <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<'); console.log(customEvent); // handle customEvent. });

window.quizcast.CastEmulator.addEventListener( cast.framework.events.EventType.MEDIA_STATUS, handleMediaStatusEvent, );

Example of the commands configuration:

name - command name
description - command description
command - data that would be sent to the Chromecast receiver on the button click
hasParameter - if true the parameter could be supplied with the data and all occurances of [PARAMETER] in the data would be replaced with the parameter value
namespace - if supplied would override the default namespace for custom events
isEvent - if true data would be passed as event instead of custome event
eventName - if isEvent is true eventName is required to specify the name of the event to trigger
