chromecast: Fedora vs Windows

2015-07-27 Thread Timothy Murphy

IIRC, I had to configure the chromecast device using a Windows computer. After that, I've been able to run it from Fedora, Windows and Android. https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/2998456?hl=en On Sat, Apr 11, 2015 at 6:56 AM, Timothy Murphy wrote: > Is anyone using chromec
