"device not found" issue
businesstimch opened this issue · comments
If you visit, http://YourChromecastIpAddress:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml
<deviceType>urn:dial-multiscreen-org:device:dial:1</deviceType>
<friendlyName>My Video</friendlyName>
<manufacturer>Google Inc.</manufacturer>
<modelName>Eureka Dongle</modelName>
<UDN>uuid:fb5e92a0-2039-7327-5794-7685fbdc76c0</UDN>
On chromecast 2nd generation, they use 'friendlyName' instead of using UDN.
for '--device' option, currently refer from UDN only not from friendlyName.
'--device' option might work on the first generation but not 2nd.
Just sharing experience after spending 6 hours.
If you can add more function for 2nd generation, it might be good too.
and also, please add description for '--localfile-port' option as well for people who run multiple devices with different media files in one server.
Thanks for great program.
I just switched to https://github.com/home-assistant-libs/pychromecast, different language and not so easy to use, as it's library. But it's maintained and starting stream takes really 5lines of code :)
