ZoneCaster

This is meant to make casting to your chromecast a little easier. It works with both phone and tv and uses the media receiver instead of just casting your web browser tab. This means you can close the tab and the stream will continue to be visible on the chromecast.

Install

Installation is pretty simple, just copy the files to your ssl enabled webserver.

SSL

ZoneCaster must be served over SSL, which means the zoneminder api must be served over ssl as well. However the streams themselves are served to chromecast over regular http.

Cross domain installs

If ZoneMinder isn't installed on the same webserver then you will need to edit ZoneCaster.js and change zmServer to the address of your ZoneMinder install. In addition you will need to add an Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. For my apache setup I use something like:

        <IfModule mod_headers.c>
            SetEnvIf Origin ^(https?://(?:.+\.)?mydomain\.com(?::\d{1,5})?)$   CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN=$1
            Header append Access-Control-Allow-Origin  %{CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN}e   env=CORS_ALLOW_ORIGIN
            Header merge  Vary "Origin"
        </IfModule>

to enable cross requests accross all of my subdomains.
