ChromeCast Players


 

Hi All,
Has anyone integrated one of these lately??
I have done it a couple times a few years ago, just wanted to see if the current crop of players still supports IR Control??

TIA!!

I have a Chromecast Ultra that integration is limited to source selection (via DM) and CEC control for basic transports. Can’t say I’d want much more – but most of what I do is throwing YouTube videos on large screen so most real control happens from the laptop, desktop, or phone that I’m casting from

?

AFAIK, none of the actual Chomecast devices have supported IR (though of course devices that support CC but aren’t actually branded as such are their own set of special)

Thanks Linc!
Yeah, I had a unit a few years ago that I thought had IR control, but we were just using it for cheap PC connection/no system control...


 

If you get the new "Chromecast with Google TV" (terrible name) it has some decent control. I am using CEC to control it. As a bonus, you can do quite a bit with these devices as you can install Android applications for additional functionality. I am only doing media playback and have control using: navigation, transport, etc.?

Very nice device for $50 with 4K HDR playback.?

Itai?


 

Cool, thanks for the info IBG!


 

Which CEC module are you using for Chromecast? What commands have you found that work?
Does it go to sleep and need a power command?

thank you
Jon

I’m just using the one for generic sources from the DB

?

The Chromecast ultra is always outputting video (wallpaper when idle)

?

Specific commands depend on the app you’re casting but for Youtube, play/pause and dpad left (back 5 seconds)/right (forward) seem to be the only ones I find myself using/have stumbled across. ?

Honestly… I can’t remember off the top of my head. I’m leaning towards play = play/pause toggle but don’t quote me on that.
