Make NCast available as a NuGet package.

Hi,

your project is very interesting, it's great if i can use this library also with universal app.
I have tried to compile but some classes are missing.

Can you do this?
Tnx in advance

Only check for SSDP when mDNS times out after X (5?) seconds.

Hi @JeremyChild , can you include Tmds.MDns a as a package? I will make a release of Tmds.MDns on the short term. If there are practical issues stopping you from using it as a package let me know and I will fix those in the upcoming release. Thanks, Tom

Implement per Report to Device instantiation.

I am able to connect YouTube application

OnData method not called anyway that's why "this.CurrentStatus" value is null
and i can not play any video.

Sorry to write about that, but your code that play movie won't work (I'm a new c# developer), probably i miss something.

This are the steps that I try:

1. Open a connection with chromecast a hit play (Null reference) at line 127
2. Load Application backdrop and hit the button nothing happen.

Could you what are the steps to play a movie/photo to chrome cast.

Thx for your help

Hi,

First of all thanks for all of your work on this neat library!
I'm trying to load media on our styled media receiver application. We have the application already running under our OS X dist so I know the problem isn't with the Chromecast or the media receiver.

This is the code I use to connect to a Chromecast it's within a method with this signature:

void connect(string name, string url)

DeviceAggregate device;
lock (devicesLock)
    device = devices.Where(da => da.Device.Name == name && da.Device.BaseUrl == url).FirstOrDefault();

if (device != null)
{
    this.device = device;

    device.ConnectionChannel.MessageReceived += ConnectionChromecastDataReceived;
    device.HeartbeatChannel.MessageReceived += HeartbeatChromecastDataReceived;
    device.ReceiverChannel.MessageReceived += ReceiverChromecastDataReceived;
    device.MediaChannel.MessageReceived += MediaChromecastDataReceived;

    await device.Client.Write(MessageFactory.Launch("FFFAA501"));
}
else
    App.Logic.browser.ExecuteScriptAsync("chromecastConnected(false, { message: 'The device details were invalid.'});");

After the user has chosen the media he wants to play back, I used this code to try and load the track, this is a preview track from the Spotify preview server to check if it works.

var url = "https://p.scdn.co/mp3-preview/18d0a45538122fbe33f22604d0e5608789c10ae4";

var customData = new Dictionary<string, string>();
customData.Add("title:", "Test preview");
customData.Add("thumb", "https://i.scdn.co/image/c171113a197828a6ee8017d1ede2e78c9a7df654");

var req = new LoadRequest(lastStatus.SessionId, new Media(url, null), true, 0.0, customData);
var req_json = req.ToJson();

await device.Client.Write(MessageFactory.Load(lastStatus.TransportId, req_json));

When I execute the Client.Write() it throws a SocketException saying: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.

The Microsoft docs on this error can be read here. They are saying that it's possibly a time-out of the connection. On discovery I call StartDevice() to get the device details. That should also have started the heartbeat, right?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I probably just forgot something or misinterpreted some of your examples.
