I am running MacOS Mojave. I installed Python 3.5 using MacPorts. I then created a virtualenv and installed catt with pip. I tried running both catt cast and catt cast_site. Both seem to find the chromecast device and exit successfully. However, the Chromecast just makes a noise, like a ping or so, but otherwise doesn't show anything.
$ catt cast_site https://www.google.com

Does catt
need to be run as root? Wasn't able to get this successfully running after install. Happy to provide more info!

Hi!
I have a TV with HDMI CEC functionality. So when the chromecast starts, the TV is started as well throug HDMI CEC. But if I shut off the TV, the HDMI CEC wont work for a couple of minutes. It would be awesome to be able to trigger the HDMI CEC again manually from catt.
Is that possible?
Hey @theychx, I tried to use the API again and found a few omissions:
_cast
property, so the consumer can read the IP address, name, etc.ctrl
to control
or controller
, whichever it is.What do you think?

Trying to cast this media file on my CC Ultra:
youtube-dl -f "best[width <=? 3840][height <=? 2160]" https://vimeo.com/225888984
as a local file, results in this traceback:

Served from a DLNA-server, the file plays fine (I did check transcoding settings).
It would be nice to have this fixed, before we axe py2 support. I tried tinkering a bit with the server module, but to no avail.
Upon further investigation, this does not appear to be bitrate related. The Chromecast and the server script are somehow confusing each other when trying to cast certain types of videos. Please note that all the media files that I have had issues with originated from Vimeo (and that regular casting of Vimeo videos with catt
is also flakey).
When I try to cast a local file:
catt -d "My Chromecast" cast "$HOME/Media/test.mp4"
I get the following error:

I use catt in other programs for easily casting URLs to a device. It might be worth thinking about adding a stable API at some point, for the benefit of people who want an easier layer over PyChromecast. For now, I think we should at least add a moderately detailed docstring to the DefaultCastController
so people can at least know what valid values are for the parameters.
What do you think, @theychx? Would the best way be to use setup_cast
and then call play_media_url
, or use a controller directly, or what?
I think what I'm trying to say is that it would be worthwhile if we drafted a high-level overview document to make the internals of catt more accessible to contributors, to make their lives easier.
Thoughts?
Where is the location of the catt.cfg file on Windows?
Just installed (on OSX 10.13.3).

When playing video files (I tried video/mp4
files), using any of the command seek

causes the chromecast device to restart the playback from scratch.
From what I managed to gather, it seems that the media server should implement http progressive download
for the chromecast to be able to seek properly

Hi there! Thanks so much for this project!
I'm able to cast_site
successfully but casting returns the following error. For example when I run the README example:
$ catt cast "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ"
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1056)> (caused by URLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1056)')))
Error: Remote resource not found.
Some details:
I tracked this error down as something that has also occured in youtube-dl
[github issue]. I separately installed youtube-dl
and got the same certificate error and then added the suggested workaround (adding the flag --no-check-certificate
to the youtube-dl
command) which then worked to download the video. Adding this in case it helps in some way.
On readme page it says that you need to run this line in order to write to config file:
catt -d <name_of_chromecast> write_config
write-config (with a dash) is how it probably is supposed to be, at least it is so on my Windows 10 installation.
Thank you very much for writing this program! It's awesome ๐

Unfortunately catt
does not work on WSL on Windows 10.
The issue is in python-zeroconf
, a library used by pychromecast
, which is used by catt
.
If you don't want to wait for the fix on python-zeroconf
to be merged, pychormecast
to be updated to use the fixed python-zeroconf
and catt
to be updated to use the new version of pychomecast
, you can simpley type
pip install git+https://github.com/marcosdiez/pyzeroconf.git@now_it_works_on_wsl --upgrade
I suggest this issue to be closed whenever all these merges occur.
Hey,
I am using only your YouTubeController in an own python script.
Basically i have a NFC reader and launching videos depending on which nfc id (toy figures) is detected. (for the kid)
I have one problem, when the YouTube app is not launched on the ChromeCast yet. I get following output:

The YT App launches but no video is played. When YT App is already launched, everything is fine.
From the trace I don't get what could be wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Please add a version flag to the list of cli options for getting easier information about the current release version:
catt --version
I am successfully using CATT to display a private security camera web UI on a Chromecast device.
However I want to require authentication, otherwise it will be available without auth on the web. Also may want to interact with the UI.
There must be many other websites played by CATT users that require input and/or interaction, right?
How do you do it?
Is there any remote / virtual keyboard, or a way to connect a keyboard to allow me to input a username / password into a site running in a Chromecast device?
I have searched like hell and tried chatting with Google support, to no avail.
Hey,
I've been using Cast All The Things in conjunction with a php script via IFTTT and haven't had any issues with it until upgrading to v0.5.3, which for some reason cannot seem to work when being called from an elevated script via php.
The previous version works fine however, so I'm sticking with it for now, but just thought I'd mention it as I'm somewhat stumped as to why it no longer works. (I'm assuming it is some sort of permissions issue or maybe a path related issue or something like that, but as I mentioned, it runs the script as an elevated user and the previous version has no problems)
Let me know if you have any insight :) Thanks for a great script.
There is some vital info missing in the README, config and aliases etc.
@skorokithakis, I'll look into this at some point.
Howdy.
Pychromecast will no longer support python 2, as of next release (because python-zeroconf will drop python 2 support).
I have a slew of minor PR's coming up after the controllers refactor PR (which is ready, by the way ๐ ) has been merged. After that I humbly suggest that we make python 3.5 the min. requirement for catt
, as this is now available for all major OS'es (the new min. requirement for Pychromecast will be 3.4, I'm just more keen on 3.5).
Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone is aware of either a CLI or web/gui based scrubber for catt. If not, I could probably write one fairly quickly but I would like to see if you folks could formalize some sort of a protocol that would allow a different application to request catt to issue a seek command to relative or absolute time position in 1s increments.
I realize that catt itself may not be aware of a playback position immediately or being able to switch a position immediately but it seems the information is available in Google Home so I'm guessing either chromecast itself or a receive app should have that information so we should at least theoretically be able to pull it.
Thoughts?
Would it be possible?
Upstream has removed get_chromecast
from pychromecast, see home-assistant-libs/pychromecast@dac7162.
So we need to either freeze the pychromecast requirement or implement auto-discovery filtering ourselves. I can do a PR for either, if you are interrested.

It seems like local casting calls get_app("default")
, which was previously special-cased inside get_app
.
When I provide catt with a youtube link to a youtube playlist, the youtube dl is triggered correct (as it seems) but catt is faling. This is the logg for when i try to do this.
So, is this a bugg just form me or is thre functionality just not there yet for playlists?
I am on macOS and all other features in catt
is working properly.

A command that echoes out the names (and statuses, playing/not playing) of the available chromecasts.
Would be a great feature!

The --subtitle
option looks for either an URL or a local file. There is no way to specify a track inside the container.
catt --info
does show that the subtitle tracks present inside the container.
It would be nice if those could be selected.
Not sure how much work that would be. And in any case, thank you for catt
. It's so much better than going through chromium or an app on my phone!
Hello. So I just bought a Chromecast Audio to go along with my CC2.As you know, this breaks my current setup where I use catt in several ways. So I am proposing the following:
Catt should support an option to set -d "CCaudio"
or -d "192.168.1.200"
to make commands specific to this device. Catt should also employ a rudimentary config file (youtube-dl style) so that the user can set a default device (or perhaps other future flags). This could go in ~/.config/catt/config
or perhaps just ~/.catt
. I am not shure how the current caching scheme fits into this, but it would certainly have to change.
Would you consider merging a PR implementing these ideas?
I was hoping to get catt to work with mpsyt. I opened an issue here mps-youtube/yewtube#607
I think if there was an option to set catt to stay in foreground until the end of the video we can have some basic compatibility with mpsyt.

I have to modify cli.py line 245:
click.echo("{0.host} - {0.device.friendly_name} - {0.device.manufacturer} {0.device.model_name}".format(device))
click.echo(u"{0.host} - {0.device.friendly_name} - {0.device.manufacturer} {0.device.model_name}".decode('utf-8').format(device))
in order to handle device name with accent (a lot of accent in french)
Line 148 in 949e60f
I reckon this line has been in catt
since it's inception, and I just can't figure out why it's there. Can you remember?
I always thought that the code I wrote to crudely validate contents of statefiles looked really ugly.
Do you think it would be worth the extra dependency to use something like jsonschema instead?
get_chromecasts
in controllers.py ensures that all devices can be dialed by creating a new pychromecast.Chromecast
using the device's host
parameter. Unfortunately, for audio groups, the host
param is mostly meaningless and chosen arbitrarily from the devices that participate in the group. This is easily visible from the output of catt scan
:
> catt scan
Scanning Chromecasts...
192.168.1.75 - Bedroom - Google Inc. Google Home
192.168.1.77 - Bedroom TV - Google Inc. Eureka Dongle
192.168.1.70 - Kitchen - Google Inc. Google Home Mini
192.168.1.76 - Living Room - Google Inc. Chromecast Audio
192.168.1.70 - Kitchen - Google Inc. Google Home Mini
In this output it's the Kitchen device that's present twice, but this varies across runs as different elements of the group are selected.
Since all device lookups go through get_chromecasts
, this means that any command directed at an audio group instead operates on a single arbitrary member of the group.
It appears that removing the list comprehension in the final statement of get_chromecasts
(that is, just return devices
instead of rebuilding each one with an address) fixes this and lets catt play to chromecast audio groups, but since I don't know why that functionality was added in the first place and was too lazy to get a dev env properly set up, I'll submit a feature request instead of a PR.
catt is a gem! thx a lot.
I will use it in my home automation. I am using Home Assistant maybe I will try to integrate catt with it, with a customs component or addon.
I able to cast video from "Android IP Webcam app", with the build-in webserver in the app. Great!
I have others cam, streaming RTSP flux. I try to cast it, but i got this error
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error unknown url type: rtsp> (caused by URLError('unknown url type: rtsp',))
The flux should be convert in a format compatible for the ChromeCast I guest... maybe it's something catt can do on the fly ?
When I first installed catt
I had an issue and the first thing I looked to do was to check if it was recognizing my chromecast. I looked to see if there was a way to ping for chromecasts using the cli and since there wasn't I ended up looking around until I found the get_chromecasts
in controllers.py
.
It would be helpful to extend get_chromecasts
so that you can ask for that information straight from the CLI. This also has the advantage of being part of the --help
documentation so users know what to do.
A suggested implementation would be:
catt get_chromecasts
to return a prettyprinted version of the info that the get_chromecasts
already returns.
When trying to cast a URL, it produces the following error. Any idea what I might be missing?
catt cast_site "http://www.google.com"

The usage section of readme has an example of cast_site, but the actual command seems to be cast_url.
I am probably missing something super obvious, but I gave python permission on Windows to go through the firewall, I run catt scan ...and this is what I get back. My chromecast works fine over Chrome but catt isn't seeing it ...did I mess up?

So while fiddling with tests, I discovered that the url that the format selector returns for some vimeo videos, does not play on my cc 2. Turns out that the resolution of the "best"
format is too high.
Replacing "best"
with "best[width <=? 1920][height <=? 1080]"
appears to solve the problem.
The cc ultra might be able to play the higher resolution format, but I do not have access to one of those.
Would it be possible to add the ability to play random video off a playlist?
