Chromecast support exists? Closing this as a non-issue, unless you're having a specific problem.

[stgarf]

@jostrander Yeap, having a specific problem then. I don't see the Cast icon anywhere.

OS: macOS 10.12

Issue Description: Unable to cast/see cast icon.

Steps to Reproduce: Use GPMDP... sorry I can't really be more specific.

@stgarf Does the cast icon appear in Chrome on the GPM UI for you?

[stgarf]

@MarshallOfSound

Not as far as I can see...

[stgarf]

(I am on the network w/ my shield, my shield works... because I can cast this tab to it :)

[MarshallOfSound]

If you are on Windows install Bonjour Print Services and restart GPMDP 👍

[stgarf]

Sorry @MarshallOfSound, up there ^ macOS 10.12 ... and more logs or debugging you'd like?

[stgarf]

@MarshallOfSound any other debugging I can do?

[MarshallOfSound]

@stgarf SHIELD probably advertises on a different MDNS service name

Can you log all the output of running this command in the dev tools console

var browser = require('mdns').browseThemAll();
browser.on('serviceUp', function(service) {
  console.log(JSON.stringify(service));
});
browser.start();

[stgarf]

@MarshallOfSound sure.

In my Chrome while visiting music.google.com?
If you mean in GPMDP, how do I open the dev tools console while inside it?

Also, can you re-open the bug...?

[MarshallOfSound]

I'm not comfortable reopening a bug that is probably a network or electron-chromecast issue

You can open the Dev tools with the stand shortcut after following these steps.

1. Control + Shift + G
2. Type in "DEV_MODE"
3. Click OK
4. Wait for app to relaunch
5. Launch Dev tools with the normal shortcut.

Looks like it might be the nvstream interface...

@MarshallOfSound Well I'd certainly rule out "network" as an issue since Chromecast from Chrome browser to the nvidia shield (and other Chromecast devices in my home) works perfect fine (whether it's YouTube or a Google Music tab, or some random web page via tab casting).

[MarshallOfSound]

@stgarf I wonder if it is advertising under nvstream 😕 That would be quite strange.

Just to clarify does the Chromecast button appear at all in GPMDP? I can see at least one googlecast record being broadcasted.
