    Default Support for Google Chromecast device

    Google have announced the Chromecast HDMI streamer ($35, Amazon link) which is now available although demand is currently outstripping supply.

    In order to work it requires the media be accessible as a URL - it doesn't use DLNA. here's a discussion.

    Is there any chance of Mezzmo supporting this?

    We watching Chromecast with interest. We could add a web presentation interface to Mezzmo media server (this is part of DLNA guidelines) and that could provide the media URLs to URL-based streamers like Chromecast.

    No active development at the moment (too busy on other features!), but we are keeping it on our future plans.

    I too have been watching this pretty cool little device and would love to be able to add these to every TV in my home to play my Mezzmo video/music content. Consider it!!!!!

    Looks like they released 4.2 which is an official release, in the last week. I'm looking forward to what you guys can provide. I have been looking for a new streaming solution to my TV's.

    We'll be working on Chromecast features for Mezzmo Android as soon as we release Mezzmo v4.0 and Mezzmo Android later this month.

    Hi Paul- Not sure I follow - as I'm not an android user. Will it be possible to stream from Mezzmo server to Chromecast connected to a TV and operate via the iOS?

    Thanks,
    Greg

    Hi Greg,

    In order to stream to Chromecast devices, developers (like us) need to use the Chromecast SDK in their applications. The current Chromecast SDK is designed to run on Android and iOS - but not Windows So, given that we cannot add Chromecast into Mezzmo Windows, then we'll add it into Mezzmo Android first. We have not (yet) started on our Mezzmo iOS app - so I cannot provide an ETA on Mezzmo iOS.
