it tries too load but goes back too the main screen before anything happens
I think I just found a way to send Youtube video URLs to the chromecast. However not through the binding, that will need to be implemented.
I found this interesting article on how to send HTTP POST requests to the chromecast device in order to run apps on the chromecast device and also providing those apps with a parameter (e.g. URL).
It works almost perfectly. Only downside: each call will restart the youtube app on the chromecast unfortunately. If this could directly be integrated into the binding that would be great as I don’t like having to send to the IP address of the chromecast. I’d rather use channels that are linked to an Item so I don’t have to manage IP addresses in several places.
