And, I agree about 'Chromepup', as I call it. Oscar has a fairly recent 32-bit Iron package that should be able to help you with this. The Chromium Project is still manufacturing 32-bit versions it's only Google that have 'put the boot in' and killed 32-bit versions of Chrome. If you're not 64-bit (now required to run current Chrome), then try one of the Chromium 'clones' (like Iron). This means that you need to run a newer version of the browser, I would think. Google couldn't care less not their 's yours.) And if you're still running a 32-bit machine, oh dear tough shit. For Linux, since this now means 64-bit, it means installing a 64-bit OS, if you're not already running one. (Google, of course, expect that you will always be running the very newest version of the browser. The Cast function is built-in to the new versions.but since the extension was removed (through my Google a/c cloud connectivity, I would imagine), it means it was also removed from the older browsers, too. I run a mixture of older & newer Chromes. Therefore, it was removed from the Chrome Store." I have never been able to re-install it, since, according to the Google Product Groups forum, "With the cast function now built-in to the browser, the Cast extension was henceforth considered redundant. One day, I was looking through my extensions list and noticed that the 'Google Cast' extension had disappeared. I used to have the extension installed, on the off-chance that I was going to get around to buying a Chromecast at some point. Therefore, the extension was considered no longer necessary. Because since around Chrome 52 or 53, 'cast' support is now baked right into the browser code. There's a very simple reason why the 'Google Cast' extension is no longer available. I'm going to post in the chromium thread to see if anyone has casting Gary:. I've also tested peedbee's chromium 52 & 65, which include the casting feature, in stretch 7.5, slacko 6.3.0 & xenial 7.5 without success. This validated that my device is discoverable in puppy and chromecast can be done. This puppy did find the chromecast device & could cast from the browser. Chromebook-pupv1 already had the google cast extension included, so I did a frugal install.

Most require the "google cast" extension which is no longer available. I found several threads by forum member ETP who created several puplets for chromemcast. I'm still testing trying to find a clue as to why chromecast doesn't work in VLC 3.01. deb packages or build from source?) and then maybe try a test re-compile of VLC when I get some time.

I will investigate options for an upgrade of dbus (Stretch. If someone is able to identify any step which I need to include in the compiling process I will gladly give it another try.ĭoes Chromecast support in VLC 3.0.1 require dbus?Ĭonfigure script warns about this and (I think) disables dbus. to 3.0.1 but it could be that they still have work to do on it. It is a new feature in VLC which they supposedly improved from 3.0.0. So it is good that you are still on the case and maybe others with experience of this device will chime in. There are other missing optional dependencies that are flagged up, but I didn't spot anything that looked relevant to this. Sometimes when I sleep on things or have a few cups of tea, other ideas hit me, but so far nothing further has.Īll I can tell you is that all the messages and other indications from the compiling process suggest that Chromecast support has been built, but obviously something is still not right. Without having an example of the physical device it is difficult for me to conduct any further testing of this issue.
