Makes a connection but nothing actually plays about playercast HOT 3 CLOSED

@Dashon1

Hi,
Sorry for late response. First of all can you play the files normally using mpv from command line on the PC where you want to cast them to? Have you tried doing the cast to the same PC with two terminal windows? Also starting app with:

DEBUG=mpc*,playercast* playercast -q

and on second terminal:

DEBUG=mpc*,playercast* playercast -q "/path/to/video.mp4"

I also tried specifying the path of mpv using --cwd flag

The --cwd flag is only useful when you have multiple installations of mpv/vlc (or on Windows OS). If you don't and you can start them from terminal by simply typing that media player app name, you don't need it.

mpv is controlled using a UNIX socket which works faster. vlc does not support UNIX sockets and is controlled via Web API using localhost port 9280 (connection to same device on 127.0.0.1).

Hey. Thanks for getting back to me. The file does work from the command line. It also works when casting and receiving from the same machine. I will try and run it from one machine to another with the debugging terms now.

Everything seems to be working now. I can't say I decided to try it normally one more time after seeing it work when done on the same machine. Whether or not it was today's update or what I can't say, but not it works. Thanks for your help though.
