A simple application to watch youtube videos on your Chromecast. 

Just copy the url of the youtube video to your clipboard, open this app, select your Chromecast device, and push the share button.

Uses the pychromecast library, big thanks to the authors!

Thanks for this neat little app. Is the code available for this (e.g. on GitHub)? I was hoping to make a pull request to propose some fixes, but I I'm not able to find it anywhere.

Installation worked properly. But it does not find my chromecast.

Solved for me too.

Great! Thanks for the feedback!

Mee too: there are some trouble with pip...

PamNor's picture

Installed version 0.1-4. As rooot: python -m pip install pychromecast.
Output gives a lot of errors.

Installed python3-base. Same error. /usr/share/Cast/python/__init__.py is 0 bytes. Is that correct?

Cannot install, error about python 3.7. Should I install a separate package?

Maybe you do not have python3 installed? The update that I just uploaded includes python3 as a requirement.

Alternatively, you can run "pkcon install python3-base" as root.

Hi! Thanks for the app!
Here I am not able to find my chromecast...

Thanks for your feedback. I suspect you're missing some dependencies.

Could you try to run the app from the terminal (with "sailfish-qml Cast"), and post the output?

Ok, more dependencies missing. Let's make pip take care of that. As root: "python3 -m pip install pychromecast".
