Hi All,
I finally got casting Zoneminder live streams to Chromecast (Nvidia Shield) with Homeseer working. Searched this forum and Google but couldn't find a straight forward answer so I'm writing this post in the hopes it helps someone else.
Once the Chromecast plug-in is setup and connected, add a new Homeseer Event to use Chromecast.
Action - Chromecast Actions
Chromecast Action - Cast Media
Select your Chromecast device
Media URL - http://<zoneminder-server>/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms?&mode=jpeg&monitor=1&user=xxxx&pass=xxxx
MIME Type - image/jpeg
You may need to change monitor=1 to the monitor number you are trying to cast.
I recommend adding a dedicated low privileged ZM user just for this since the user/pass is sent in clear text.
If you have ZM auth turned off completely then remove the user/pass from the URL.
Good Luck!
