First of all, I wanted to thank you a lot for this software. Chromecast was starting to be useless without this useful software.

Secondly, I am unable to stream local files with the API key as well. I drag the file, but nothing happens on the device. Here is my error log. Could anyone look and suggest possible cause of errors?

Thanks a lot!

Every time I drop in a video the log loops at
RampClient: state=running RampClient: connectionServiceUrl=null
RampClient: protocol=null RampClient: get response code=200
RampClient: get response=<?xml version="1.0" ecoding="UTF-8"?> <service xmlns="urn:dial-multiscreen-org:schemas:dial"

<servicedata xmlns="urn:chrome.google.com:cast">
<activity-status xmlns="urn:chrome.google.com:cast">Chromecast Home Screen
</activity status>

and I have to end the task to stop the loop

I had something like hackathon today and made something like how to setup Fling from scratch, but not just tutorial. My project deals with receiver URLs, which are required by Google to create App ID. The key point of the service is to ease using Fling application.
http://chromecast.prostoksi.com

BTW, I've put this project on github under MIT license: https://github.com/frol/Fling-receiver.

What do you think about this project?

Please, add a small test video.
My avi test video not start.

Thanks, Francisco

Hi, why isn't scrobbing enabled while transcoding ?
i tried opening the vlc cast url using the receiver app by changing the src attribute on the video tag and chrome's native video player allowed me to change positions...

i'm wondering what are the limitations ...

thanks !

Hi,

First of thanks for creating this handy app.

I keep getting Brain Freeze error when I try to start a video.

I have received a APP ID from google and added it to index.html and FlingFrame.java. I've changed my CC settings to send the serial number to google for updates.
I've tried the url that i provided for my whitelisting to see that it works.

Finally I've tried to debug and find out when it fails. I came to the conclusion that in the file HttpServer.java (ln: 697). CC changes to brain freeze when it tries to write the data to the output stream.

If you could help me I would appreciate it. :)

Here is the log btw.

Hello,

Is that 404 from RampClient indicative of a problem? Also, when I see "RampClient: lastUrl=http://192.168.0.3:8008/apps/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" in the logs, should all of these 0's instead my my APP ID?

I have a few APP ID's and I want to make sure I'm using the right one. I didn't include the entire APP ID for obvious reasons. I wasn't sure if we needed to include the port # when we requested the whitelisting, so I did one without.

...b293_2 -> http://192.168.0.4:8080/index.html
...b293_3 -> http://192.168.0.2/index.html

ChromeCast will always be 192.168.0.3 and the computer I'm running on is usually 192.168.0.2 (I can reserve that IP for my MAC address, but I haven't yet).

I can can manually connect to that URL above, but it is obviously unreadable...and seems to keep sending data.

Finally -- and this could be important, I am running this from inside Eclipse. This worries me because it might have trouble finding my index.html file (perhaps others, too?). I dropped a copy into my project root folder (because this is often my current working directory).

Thanks,

-Dwayne

I understand that the CheapCast implementation might be incomplete (they don't implement the tab streaming so far for instance), but I wouldn't know and this might be an opportunity for collaboration between projects.

Thanks for the great tool otherwise :)

The following error is produced when I drop a file into Fling running in a command prompt:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to load the native library.

The error was "Unable to load library 'libvlc': JNA native support (win32-amd64/
libvlc.dll) not found in resource path (Fling-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependenci
es.jar)".

The required native libraries are named "libvlc.dll" and "libvlccore.dll".

I've verified that the libraries are located on my system at C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC

Running the command as the additional output suggests with "-Djna.library.path=C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC" does not fix the issue.

It seems there has been an update to the DIAL protocol or something. This was working great for me for months, but now trying to play a video results in a log entry that connectionServiceUrl is null, and fails. I tried debugging the XML coming from the device to see if it was simply a name change of a parameter, but couldn't seem to find any information about the connectionServiceUrl there.

My guess is you are probably not working on this anymore, but figured I would post something in case others have the issue.

I have a NAS . This is where all my large MKV files are. This NAS has an HTTP server already so it can serve up the the files itself.

It would be great if I can just specify the URL of the file in fling, and have it tell chromecast to play it. I dont need transcoding,

I've been using Fling for a while now with no issues, but today nothing works anymore. I can't get any videos to play, even videos I watched just yesterday. Does it have something to do with this: https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/ZeHgRXS6AZs?

Here are the errors I'm getting when I hit play:

Hi!

So VLC has a nice option to transcode video on-the-fly to many different formats including h.264+mp3 in an .mp4 container-- so completely supported by the chromecast. VLC handles creating the HTTP server already. I don't know if they have a Java compatible API, but it seems like your drag-n-drop interface could just call up vlc with something like:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{dst=:8080/current_movie.mp4} :sout-keep

that is, transcode to h.264+mp3, output to http://<my_ip_address>:8080/current_movie.mp4. Just point your chromecast there and you should stream it down, yes?

This isn't really an issue, so much as a question. When transcoding media, there is at on of console output with strange characters, along the lines of

write(42): {���� �E�~zs�.7e�xbn�.!<�B]Q� 9}�hDw�.!)�}

On windows, this is creating beeps for certain characters it can't interpret.

I can't seem to figure out where this logging output is coming from. Can you point me in the right direction?

我打开了8080端口，且将视频转化为webm格式，可chromecast还是没有反应

I do not what's it going on when I drag & drop my movie file ?

I am trying to run fling.jar. And after exploring a bit, I received APPID and launched the fling.jar with APPID as a command line argument. But I am still not able to run any media to Chromecast. Please find below the console log below:

I have downloaded fling.jar from http://goo.gl/HAc9ex and using OSX 10.8.3.

I don't see an email address for you, but wanted to let you know that I have a rooted Chromecast with FlashCast and Pwn ROM

I think with this ROM there is a totally separated Cleanlist of apps which is maintained by a XDA developer. Thus a totally different way to bypass Google's cleanlist of allowable apps.

Unfortunately the newest chromecasts for sale are not rootable.

Someone had a link to flink 0.3 and it works flawlessly.

I found a link to fling.jar 0.6 and it does not work.
This is rather odd.

Regards
[email protected]

I would be very happy if I could script or perhaps use a web call to the running Fling app to start a video on my ChromeCast.

Here's how things would ideally work:
Start Fling, it'll start a web service providing these calls at minimum:

getChromeCasts returns a page with an id and a description of each chromecast discovered.
startStreaming?id=1&file="C:\tmp\video.mpg" (url escaped of course)

Doing this would allow for me to write a simple .net app that I can browse with my phone, and in the future an android app that allows me to select a video file and launches it on the ChromeCast.

Alternatively, a command line option would work as well, but would be a bit more clunky.

Whenever I watch a letterboxed movie, it is not centered on the screen with black bars above and below. Rather, the movie is at the top of the screen with double black bars below.

The idea is pretty simple, just add App ID input into settings.

I write you an email but here again as remember ...

Please add a version number in fling to see if there is a new version.

Here is the log. Everything works fine until I try to drop anything. I did select the CC device. I'm running Kubuntu 13.04. The file has 777 permissions. No difference when ran as sudo.

First, mister Nicholls, a big thank you for releasing this application as open source and for providing so much feedback.

Now that I had it working (it wasn't explicitly said that one needs to run an http server with the receiver html - but finding it myself makes the glory even bigger), I noticed that my computer is in fact too old to transcode it. The CPU shoots to 100 percent, and the video is lagging.

I remembered however that Koushik Dutta succeeded in something similar with android as a platform, and remembered that he was talking about encoding/decoding. I've looked it up, a here's the post:
https://plus.google.com/110558071969009568835/posts/5fWK26rqitc

I speaks for itself that I have no experience on this stuff, so it could well be that I'm talking big rubbish here. However, I wanted to know if an implementation of this kind in Fling in somehow possible? If not, would you be so kind to give a more in-depth view on why - just out of curiousity on my side?

Thank you in advance for your answer,
Erwin

I verified that I am whitelisted correctly and I am running this on Mac OS X 10.8.5.

The use case is a simple one, load up the jar via command line passing through my app id and dragging and dropping a video into the program. The screen turns black until I eventually hit the stop button.

Logs: https://gist.github.com/DHuckaby/05688cf4953e82dd8839

Edit:
Also, I tried multiple different video files and they all reacted the same. I tried both with compiling the application from master and from the linked jar in the readme, the logs above are from the readme jar.

I'm running fling OX 10.9.2 by executing java -jar fling.jar. Then I'm drag-dropping a 8.8 GB .mkv file from a folder shared by a Windows 7 pc in my local network. This causes fling to hang for as long as I leave it running. I tried analyzing the Output [1] and found a 404 error [2] but I can't tell what causes it.

For those of you that are having an issue with the wrong media uri (the address from which you media is being served) being sent to your chromecast device, I suggest editing the prefix var in FlingFrame.java getNetworAddress() to something more specific...IE "192.168.1." or whatever applies....

In my case, my bridge network interface was being used rather than the active wifi interface I was using. Once I modified the prefix it worked like a charm.
