--- Comment #2 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
I've had a look and this doesn't really seem doable at this time.
The only really comprehensive chromecast library appears to be google's libcast
and that appears to be a bit huge in scope. Documentation seems sparse and
being a chromium project it is using funky google build tech. Integrating that
would be no small task.
There are numerous partial implementations of the cast protocol out on github
but the only healthy looking one is pychromecast with which we'd have trouble
interfacing what with being python. We could implement our own but that would
probably just end up another partial implementation that isn't particularly
healthy looking what with being Qt exclusive. All in all this doesn't seem
worth the trouble.
Like I said what would be more interesting is casting the desktop as a whole,
but it's my understanding chromium already implements this, raising the
question why we would spend precious engineering time on reimplementing it.
That being said, if someone was super excited about the prospect of casting one
could probably wrap libcast in a Qt compatibility library that integrates with
qtmultimedia and then take it from there. Might even be interesting for the Qt
eco system as a whole.
