Chromecast still showing Emby name

[brianjmurrell]

Just a small issue when you get to the small issue pile... :-)

The splash screen that comes up on your TV when you select to Chromecast to a (real) Chromecast device still displays "Emby", as does the chrome browser extension widget.

Hmmm... looking into this, I see no strings that match "Emby" in the DLNA code.

Can you perhaps include a picture of this screen? I don't own a Chromecast so I'm working blind without one.

Edit: And are you using master or dev? Can you check if latest dev fixes the problem?

Here's a screenshot of the Chromecast extension's widget in Google Chrome once Jellyfin has been asked to Chromecast:

I'm using the 3.5.2 release.

[sparky8251]

Does using the latest dev fix this issue? I ask because that's the code I'm looking through for "Emby."

[bfayers]

It's almost certainly due to this line:

jellyfin/MediaBrowser.WebDashboard/dashboard-ui/bower_components/emby-webcomponents/chromecast/chromecastplayer.js

Line 95 in 21a8d27

var sessionRequest = new chrome.cast.SessionRequest("2D4B1DA3"),

Namely: chrome.cast.SessionRequest("2D4B1DA3")

"2D4B1DA3" is a Chromecast app I'd, something you have to register and publish with Google to create a chromecast app. This is clearly the Emby app. We need to make.our own but iirc there's no source to fork

[sparky8251]

Ah... well, that's why I couldn't find it. Guess that's yet another thing to add to our long todo list huh?

@sparky8251 I stand corrected found many a fork we can fork

List:

• https://github.com/angelblue05/Emby.Chromecast
• https://github.com/chlorm-forks/Emby.Chromecast
• https://github.com/chlorm-forks/Emby.Chromecast.Beta
• https://github.com/ForCollectMediaBrowser/Emby.Chromecast.Beta

(This last one above is the most recent one I found (2 years))

Cordova plugins:

• https://github.com/chlorm-forks/Emby.Cordova.Chromecast.Ios
• https://github.com/chlorm-forks/Emby.Cordova.Chromecast

[sparky8251]

Well, the Cordova ones aren't licensed under anything and are therefore unusable.

The other four are MIT and GPL. So we have somewhere to start at least.

[joshuaboniface]

Grabbed the latest of each of the Chromecast apps, but not Cordova for the reasons @sparky8251 mentioned.

[anthonylavado]

Wow that second Cordova's upstream never had a license to begin with, so how would he fork it and use it?

[bfayers]

@anthonylavado Because who cares about things being properly licensed, right? right?!

Fixed by jellyfin/jellyfin-chromecast#1 and jellyfin/jellyfin-web@edde580 in the latest dev branches slated for 10.0.2 release afaik.
