[compat] Emby Media Server about fx_cast-compat HOT 8 OPEN

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look at Emby in a little while.

Match patterns don't allow for specific ports, but unless I'm missing something, you should be able to add just *://mediaserver/* and it'll work for any port including 8920.

I'll give that a shot, that was how the extension added it to the whitelist, so dunno if that needs to be addressed.

Cheers!

Oh, apparently I already have. Next release. :)

So, an update:
Changing my whitelist entry to the one you provided got me closer. The extension would pass the chrome-based user agent to the site, and I could start casting the app (both by clicking on the extension and choosing a CC from the list, and by clicking on the cast icon and choosing Chromecast which brought me to the previously mentioned menu). The app launches on the TV, but I cannot control it at all. Calls for media to play seem to have no effect. However, disconnecting from the CC and electing to shut down Emby on the CC will cause the app to exit and bring me back to the ambiance page.
Hope this helps.

Okay, so I took a quick look, and right now, I think it's probably a web compat bug in the client where whatever component that keeps track of playback state isn't correctly reporting that to the Chromecast component. It's Chrome-specific code, so it wouldn't be too surprising.

It doesn't actually use much of the Chromecast API itself, just sets up a messaging connection and does its own thing, so there's not much else to go wrong.

I'll keep digging later when I've got some more time and see if I can come up with a workaround.

My fault after all, seems to be fully working now. Will be fixed in the next release.

You're a legend man! I'm guessing I just have to wait for the next release to get the fix?

Either that, or you could build your own version in the meantime. Should have something by the end of the week.
