Controls in Google Home App
vanadinit opened this issue · comments
Hello everyone,
I am searching for a possibility to control start/stop/pause/seek via the Google Home App after invoking the video stream via pychromecast.
My actual setup:
- local video files at my PC
- serving video file via a HTTP Server to have a streaming URL
- discovering and selecting chromecast via pychromecast
- giving URL to cast.play_media to start casting
Interestingly appears the play/pause button, if I have the Google Home App open on my smartphone when starting to cast. If I open the app later on or reopen it after a while the button is missing. The seek bar for jumping in time is always missing (but I know it from casting from several apps, Youtube, ...).
Any idea how to get these controls? Is there a specific information or format needed?
