Hello.
I want to be able to Stream from my laptop to Chromecast and for that I plan to configure Google Chrome as external player, so I can then send to my Chromecast.


I have created the following playercorefactory.xml

Code:

<playercorefactory>

I am having the following problems.

- When I right click in my channel, and select Play Using ... doesnt matter my choice, It allways starts Google Chrome. I want to keep the Default DVD Player for Everything except when I explicit say I want to play using chrome.
- XBMC successfully opens a new Chrome Window but it just opens the home page, nothing is playing. Maybe I am missing some args in the Chrome Path?


Thank you for your help.

Way to make things unnecessarily buggy and complicated. Why don't you just connect your XBMC to your TV with a cable like everyone else? There is a reason why no developer has shown interested in Chromecast support for XBMC - it's because that's not how you're supposed to use it.
