Chromecast plugin for Cordova

I have forked this repo out of Exozet's repo, because I wanted to bugfix or rather fix plugin's communication with the Chromecast. You can find a working demo at the bottom of this readme.

Original repo

https://github.com/GetVideostream/cordova-chromecast.git

Exozet's repo

Exozet created fixes required for the plugin to run on the latest cordova versions

https://github.com/exozet/cordova-chromecast.git

Installation

For now, add the plugin from this repository.

cordova plugin add https://github.com/nbabanov/cordova-chromecast.git

If you have NodeJS installed, the dependencies should be automatically copied.

http://nodejs.org/

If not you will need to import the following projects as Library Projects in order for this plugin to work:

adt-bundle\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib
adt-bundle\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\appcompat
adt-bundle\sdk\extras\android\support\v7\mediarouter

Usage

This project attempts to implement the official Google Cast SDK for Chrome... in Cordova. We've made a lot of progress in making this possible, check out the offical docs for examples: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/chrome_sender

When you call chrome.cast.requestSession() an ugly popup will be displayed to select a Chromecast. If you're not cool with this - you can call: chrome.cast.getRouteListElement() which will return a <ul> tag that contains the Chromecasts in a list. All you have to do is style that bad boy and you're off to the races!

Demo

if (!chrome.cast || !chrome.cast.isAvailable) {
    setTimeout(initializeCastApi, 1000);
}

var initializeCastApi = function () {
    var sessionRequest = new chrome.cast.SessionRequest(chrome.cast.media.DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID);
    var apiConfig = new chrome.cast.ApiConfig(sessionRequest,
        sessionListener,
        receiverListener);
    chrome.cast.initialize(apiConfig, onInitSuccess, onError);
};


function receiverListener(e) {
    if (e === chrome.cast.ReceiverAvailability.AVAILABLE) {
        console.log(e);
    }
}
var castSession = null;
var currentMedia = null;

/**
*	Calling the castConnect function, a popup will show to choose from available devices
*/
function castConnect() {
    castSession = null;
    chrome.cast.requestSession(onRequestSessionSuccess, onLaunchError);
}

/**
*	|	Event listeners
*	V
*/

function onRequestSessionSuccess(e) {
    castSession = e;
}

function onLaunchError(e) {
    console.error(e);
}

function sessionListener(e) {
    console.log('sessionListener');
    console.log(e);
}

function receiverListener(e) {
    console.log('receiverListener');
    console.log(e);
}

function onInitSuccess(e) {
    console.log('onInitSuccess');
    console.log(e);
}

function onError(e) {
    console.error('onError');
    console.error(e);
}

function onMediaDiscovered(how, media) {
    console.log(how);
    currentMedia = media;
}

function onMediaError(e) {
    console.error('onMediaError');
    console.error(e);
}


/**
*	Sends media to the chromecast
*	NOTE: Default receiver only accepts media files (videos, audio and/or subtitles)	
*
*	@param {string} url - url
*	@param {string} type - mime type 
*/

function sendMedia(url, type) {
    var mediaInfo = new chrome.cast.media.MediaInfo(url, type);

    var request = new chrome.cast.media.LoadRequest(mediaInfo);
    castSession.loadMedia(request,
        onMediaDiscovered.bind(this, 'loadMedia'),
        onMediaError);
}

cordova-chromecast's Issues

crash app

the app hangs when it starts

plugin not being recognized by app - Uncaught ReferenceError: chrome is not defined

Uncaught ReferenceError: chrome is not defined
at CastPlayer.initializeCastPlayer (CastVideos.js:138)
at new CastPlayer (CastVideos.js:118)
at index.js:57
at HTMLScriptElement.script.onload (index.js:74)

I keep getting this error while trying to use this plugin on Apache Cordova android 6.3.0 with the target SDK version being 26 and node.js 8.8.1 installed.

I tried just creating a basic app with the code from the demo section but got the same error. I also tried using the code from this project: https://github.com/Vaporexpress/Cordova-CastVideos-chrome.

Initialization problem

Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for this plugin, it is just what I need for radio app I am working on. But up to now I don't get it working. The build process doen't give any errors, but using your example code I can't get it initialized. When I call initializeCastApi() I get the error: 'Cannot read property 'SessionRequest' of undefined'. So it seems that the object chrome.cast is not defined. It's probably a simple mistake I make, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks,
Frans Schrijver

Unable to install plugin

Hi,
I'm trying to install this plugin in my existing cordova project. My project currently doesn't have play service support. I'm using cordova 7.0.1 on my windows system.
below are the error logs which I get just after running the add plugin command. i.e.
cordova plugin add https://github.com/nbabanov/cordova-chromecast.git

Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/nbabanov/cordova-chromecast.git via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

help with initialization

Hi,
Im trying to connect chromecast to my android ionic hybrid app.

on a browser that code works ... :

My first problem was that isAvailable was always false, but after installing your plugin, it became true.
So, your plugin is well installed.

The question is if can I do something like that code, because that : " cast.framework.CastContext.getInstance().setOptions(options); " gives me an error Uncaught ReferenceError: cast is not defined

I am using that cordova plugin on Ionic.

With your example code, My chromecast is not beeing connected, the console:

initialize tab_and_origin_scoped 06CCA653
index.html:124 onInitSuccess
index.html:125 undefined
index.html:119 receiverListener
index.html:120 unavailable

Thanks.

Trigger Media Play/Pause or Seek

I have a couple questions

How would I go about triggering "mediaPlay" , "mediaPause" or "mediaSeek" ?
How do I load cast starting at a specific time

1.)
I tried adding the snippet below to chrome.cast.js :

chrome.cast.Session.prototype.pause = function (successCallback, errorCallback) {
        if (chrome.cast.isAvailable === false) {
            errorCallback(new chrome.cast.Error(chrome.cast.ErrorCode.API_NOT_INITIALIZED), 'The API is not initialized.', {});
            return;
        }

        execute('mediaPlay', function (err) {
            if (!err) {
                successCallback && successCallback();
            } else {
                handleError(err, errorCallback);
            }
        });
    };

and call is via :

 castSession.pause(
                function successCallback(){
                    log('Pause Cast content');
                }, 
                function errorCallback(){
                    log('Failed to pause content');
                });

This does not seem to work, any ideas ?

2.)

I tried modifying LoadRequest to take a _currentTime parameter

LoadRequest: function (media, _currentTime) {
               this.type = 'LOAD';
               this.sessionId = this.requestId = this.customData = null;
               this.media = media;
               this.autoplay = !0;

               if(_currentTime){
                   this.currentTime  = _currentTime;
               }
           }

Youtube Video

It is possible start a YouTube Video?

Cast only working on DEFAULT_MEDIA_RECEIVER_APP_ID

Hi!
Great plugin! I added it to my device and everything seems to work fine with default media reiceiver.

Then I created my own Styled Media Receiver in the Google Cast SDK Developer Console. Added the id to the chrome.cast.SessionRequest and booted the app. When clicking connect and selecting my Chromecast device from the default popup list, the app crashes every time.

What am I missing here? I've added my device to the Google Cast SDK DC and published the application there.

INIT

  var sessionRequest = new chrome.cast.SessionRequest("VALID_ID");
  var apiConfig = new chrome.cast.ApiConfig(
    sessionRequest,
    function(e) /* sessionListener */
    {
      /* Do nothing */
    },
    function(e) /* receiverListener */
    {
      if (e === chrome.cast.ReceiverAvailability.AVAILABLE)
      {
        AppMusic.Chromecast.receiverAvailable = true;
        AppMusic.Chromecast.setBtnDisabled(false);
      }
      else
      {
        AppMusic.Chromecast.receiverAvailable = false;
        AppMusic.Chromecast.setBtnInactive();
        AppMusic.Chromecast.setBtnDisabled(true);
      }
    }
  );

  chrome.cast.initialize(
    apiConfig,
    function() /* onInitSuccess */
    {
      AppMusic.Chromecast.ready = true;
    },
    function(e) /* onError */
    {
      AppMusic.Chromecast.showError(AppMusic.Lang.get("error_chromecast_initialize"), e);
    }
  );

CONNECT

chrome.cast.requestSession(
  function(e)
  {
    /* onRequestSessionSuccess */
    AppMusic.Chromecast.castSession = e;
    AppMusic.Chromecast.setBtnActive();
  },
  function(e)
  {
    /* onLaunchError */
    AppMusic.Chromecast.showError(AppMusic.Lang.get("error_chromecast_connect"), e);
  }
);
