Hi,
Here you guys have a HabPanel widget to control your Chromecast. It has a lot of room for improvement though!
I have created a post on how to create the widget in case anyone is interested.
Tutorial to build the Chromecast Widget
Suggestions are welcomed!
Chromecast.widget (3).json (5.0 KB)
Nice.
Is it possible to add a stop button for the playback, or is that just not supported?
Hi Mihir,
Let me see if I can capture the stop event and add it to the widget.
if the Binding allows it, it should be possible.
Hi Mihir,
I have checked and stop is not supported by the binding, not yet at least.
I didn’t love the idea of sending null to the item so I have created an additional parameter to send an image to chromecast…at least it will look better.
I have put an Openhab image as the default one but you can change it.
I might try to file a PR in the future, once I find out how the chromecast playback is stopped.
Small update for this widget: the update handles not only UNDEF but also NULL values:
<div class="col-xs-12" ng-if="itemValue(config.title) !='UNDEF' && itemValue(config.title) !='NULL'"> <h4>{{itemValue(config.title)}}</h4></div>
<div class="col-xs-12" ng-if="itemValue(config.seriesTitle) !='UNDEF' && itemValue(config.seriesTitle) !='NULL'"> <h4>{{itemValue(config.seriesTitle)}}</h4></div>
<img src="{{itemValue(config.image_url)}}" class="img-thumbnail" ng-if="itemValue(config.image_url) !='UNDEF' && itemValue(config.image_url) !='NULL'"></img>
<img src="{{(config.default_image)}}" class="img-thumbnail" ng-if="itemValue(config.image_url) =='UNDEF' || itemValue(config.image_url) =='NULL'"></img>
Also the default value for “default_image” does no longer exist.
