  • Changes:

    • Added playlist (file queue) in remote widget which allows:
      • Selecting current item to be played with single click
      • Adding more items to the queue (must be same media type) from file chooser dialog or Nautilus
      • Reordering list items via "Drag and Drop" (animated GIF on GitHub page shows this in action)
      • Removing items from the list by dropping them outside the widget
    • Added ability to change widget playback control buttons size
    • Allows changing remote related settings during playback
    • Added options to manually configure Chromecast IP from extension settings
      (this obsoletes node cast-to-tv-config which does not work anymore after latest changes)
    • Nautilus extension should now also work with Nemo file manager
    • Added NVENC (Nvidia) hardware acceleration (thanks to @deisi for testing)
    • Added option to transcode both video and audio (only audio option will be added later on)
    • Updated node modules to latest versions

  • Improvements:

    • Replaced outdated Chromecast controlling node module with new custom chromecast-controller
    • Updated multicast-scanner which now can scan network and then find and connect to desired Chromecast much faster than before (within 150ms !!!)

  • Fixes:

    • Now works on GNOME 3.34
    • Fixed Chromecast not returning to BackDrop after pressing stop button
    • Fixed issue where Chromecast subtitles were reset to defaults on extension update/reinstall
    • GNOME notifications should now be displayed always correctly

Other info
The casting web links function in the form of cast-to-tv-links-addon is basically finished. This is a separate module, because I do not want to force installing additional dependencies to users that will not use them.

Once the v11 is accepted on GNOME Shell Extensions website I will try posting this add-on too, although this is basically an extension of an extension and I do not know if something like that will be accepted there (never seen anyone make something like this).
