Google Cast Sender App via Vb.Net

Question

i am currently developing an application written in Vb.Net. Is there any chance to tell all Chromecasts in the same network of the application to start a specific application ?

I´ve searched the whole internet since months, and there is no SDK i can find for .Net. Anyone knows how to do this, or can point me to the right direction ?

Cheers, Alex

Answer 1

As far as I know there is no such implementation in .NET, but you can look into protocol implementations in Node.js (V1 V2) and in java (V1 V2). I am implementing V2 in java. You should also take into account that V1 is retiring, and soon they will move to V2 for all applications.

Answer 2

First, there is no .Net sdk. Moreover, you need to be connected to each chromecast device individually to be able to communicate with them, hence no "broadcast" messaging.

Answer 3

.Net development is possible using Sharpcaster.

Also look at GoogleCast.
