Added optional password authentication.Requires some additional configuration (see documentation). Uses an HTTPS server to establish WebSocket connections. Added secure connections option to daemon.Added host option to daemon and restricted default host to localhost instead of binding to all addresses.Some changes intended to make remote/non-local connections a more viable option: The known apps list is integrated into the whitelist widget showing app names for recognised match patterns and providing a list of whitelist item presets to add directly from the options page. Per-item configuration is now also possible, allowing you to disable whitelist items entirely or disable/customise user agent string replacement on specific sites/URLs. The user agent string for whitelisted items can now be customised instead of relying on the hard-coded string. Different device types are now properly handled, displaying different icons for audio-only devices and limiting casting to valid receivers.

It automatically updates as the app/media content on the device changes and controls are hidden depending on which media commands are supported by the receiver app. App icons and thumbnails aren't displayed, but could come in a later release as an optional feature. The current app and receiver status are shown along with any media metadata (if available). The popup can now act as a remote for Chromecast devices allowing you to control media playback with: play/pause, seeking, queue skipping, subtitles selection and volume controls. Might do a point release with some updates (or disabling them until they're in a good state).Ĭhangelog Media Controls & Redesigned Popup UI Non-English localizations are missing a ton of messages now and are probably a pretty rough experience.Tab mirroring is still mostly just showing a black screen. Screen mirroring works now, but requires a mouse click on the page to trigger the media stream request. Lots of deep changes across the entire project, so plenty of room for regressions to show up. New features, improved UI and better app compatibility.

Fixed match pattern matching for URLs with port numbers.Ī fairly large update this time.Removed player state restriction on popup media play/pause and seek buttons.Fixed issue with seeking in popup affecting estimated times for other receivers.Fixed popup media seek bar layout for seekable live streams.Fixed media sender capabilities when casting elements.Fixed error when updating popup media menus.Specifically fixes issue with All 4 becoming unresponsive after requesting a session. Fixed issue with receiver cast action listeners not being called.Shows connecting state with an animated icon and connected state will a filled blue icon: Added dynamic toolbar button icon updates representing cast session state for the current tab.Fixed incorrect SDK media object status updates and supported media commands parsing.Not sure if they're really used anywhere, but should improve compatibility with apps that do use them. If the app supports it, they will now be reconnected to existing sessions when reloading/reopening a tab. Just choose the current browser window from the screen mirroring popup. and the API it depended on was slated for removal anyway. It was broken, never really worked very well. Screen mirroring is also not tied to a specific tab anymore, so it will work across page navigations and doesn't require an HTTPS context to start.

As before, not intended for video streaming and mileage may vary. Chromecast receivers have limits on WebRTC connections, so a frame rate cap of 15, a resolution limit of 1080p, and a bitrate of 1Mbps is set by default which improves responsiveness significantly. (issue: #230)Įncoding options for mirroring streams are now provided.
