Package Exports

chromecast-api

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (chromecast-api) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Subtitles and Cover

To include subtitles and a cover image, use an Object instead of a string in the play method:

var ChromecastAPI = require('chromecast-api')

var browser = new ChromecastAPI.Browser()

var media = {
    url : 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/big_buck_bunny_1080p.mp4',
    subtitles: [
    {
        language: 'en-US',
        url: 'http://carlosguerrero.com/captions_styled.vtt',
        name: 'English',
    },
    {
        language: 'es-ES',
        url: 'http://carlosguerrero.com/captions_styled_es.vtt',
        name: 'Spanish',
    }
    ],
    cover: {
        title: 'Big Bug Bunny',
        url: 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/images/BigBuckBunny.jpg'
    },
    subtitles_style: {

        setTimeout(function () {

            device.subtitlesOff (function(err,status) {

                console.log("Subtitles removed")
            });
        }, 20000)

        setTimeout(function () {

                console.log("English subtitles restored")
            });
