Google Casting?

Is it possible to cast a video feed? Not sure how to do this?

Here is the example of the URL I want to use.

Sorry if this is self-evident for people that are more into Google, but what device do you want to cast to, and from which device?

Do you mean you want to display an mjpg feed on a Hubitat Dashboard?

I have an iSpy system running with video feeds of my cameras.

I want to tell the Google Device to open that video feed and play it on my Google Display.

Ah I see, there’s a Chromecast integration app that’s built-in. I’m not too familiar with the commands it can support (or not). Someone that uses it would know, maybe @sburke781?

I've tried a custom Play and PlayTrack and neither work.

Not really, I haven't played with casting from Hubitat that I can remember, and I don't really do anything substantial with Google Chromecast or speakers in HE.

Edit - I do have them setup in HE though, so happy to test stuff out when I can.

A while back I played with something called CATT for Cast All The Things. I can't remember all the capabilities but you might want to take a look at it.

lol, my mistake then. I know you’re an Android guy so I must’ve just assumed.

I've certainly dabbled. Only real automation ATM is in Node RED, but that doesn't involve initiating casting, just turning off the TV after I finish casting.

Interesting... Maybe need to consider a different angle then.

I use Synology Surveillance Station..
