    enable log to file at debug level, then just send me the log file (Logs/Chromecast.txt) and the time at which you noticed the problem.

      Well, this seems ironic!

      Spud, does this changes things with the plug-in?

        no, the plugin interacts with the chromecast builtin features of the google Home, but not directly with the Google assistant part.

          If there was any way to actually interact with the assistant, I think that would open up several new abilities. I am by far not a programmer, so I dont know what is involved to do that. But being able to send a message saying "Play music in the living room" and have it act on that would be awesome.

          Just my 2 cents.

            All is running now !

            Hi,
            I have my chromecast plugin running fine now.
            Spud helped me.
            I had a version of Newtonsoft.Json.dll in HS3 root dir conflicting with the one used by the Chromecast plugin in bin/Chromecast.

            Thanks again, Spud !!!

            This is a very useful plugin, it helps me to get a livestream from my
            outdoor cam onto my TV.
            Re switching from HDMI back to TV I do with the Harmony plugin.

            Regards,

              Hi Spud,
              I want to cast the content of my outdoor camera onto my tv.
              I've created a chromecast cast event and inserted the valid url
              http://84.142.xxx.xxx/view/viewer_index.shtml?id=109
              or another cast event
              http://84.142.xxx.xxx/mjpg/video.mjpg?timestamp=
              but the chromecast doesn't show the livestream.
              Where can be the issue ?

              Regards,
              Fischi

                OK,
                I've found the solution by myself :
                I have been changing the MIME type of the second event from video/mjpg
                to image/mjpg because the chromecast doesn't understand mjpg.

                Thanks,
                Fischi

                  Hi Spud,
                  can you add a possibility to set the chromecast application to "backdrop" ?
                  I can do it this the google home ios app but I want it to do with the help of
                  your plugin.
                  After manual switching back my tv from HDMI to TV and running a HS chromecast cast event again the tv doesn't switch back to HDMI, only if the
                  Chromecast is in the backdrop mode.

                  It would be very useful to add this feature to the plugin.

                  Regards,
                  Fischi

                    I guess what you mean is the option to "disconnect" a stream, going back to "None" or "Backdrop" (depending on how you setup the CC). Similar to disconnect by using the Google Home app. I would like this feature as well.

                      The errors you posted may not be related to the freezing problem. In version 3.0.0.9 I fixed one possible cause for these errors, so please use this version.
                      Since using 3.0.0.9 the errors in the log are gone. However, I still loose the connection with my Chromecast devices. A quick disconnect/connect updates to the correct status instantly. Not sure if/what logs I can give you as I don't have a clue when the disconnect occurs until I look at the HS3 CC devices.

                        yes this would be a great addition.
                        Let's hope Spud will find a solution for this

                          Can not connect to Chromecast after successful discovery

                          Hi, any ideas what can be the wrong with the following setup:

                          - Plugin discovers all Chromecasts successfully, no issues
                          - When i press "Test" button next to any of discovered Chromecasts on plugin config page nothing happens, and I see following lines in the log:

                            Do you have a Newtonsoft.Json.dll in your HS3 root directory?

                                delete or rename it, it's probably causing a conflict with the one used by the Chromecast plugin in bin/Chromecast

                                This dll has probably been installed by another plugin, but it shouldn't be there.
