Hi,

After the meeting I decided to but a Chromecast for ?18 mainly to view
webpages on my TV via Chrome.

I have a Moto G phone but it seems the H/W will not allow it to work.
I tried windoze xp chrome browser and it works, but using the browser
in Fedpra 18 it has the cast icon but Chromecast is not detected.

Any experts out there who have got it working using Linux, if so how!?

PS I am not wanting to mirror!

Regards

Android Chrome by default doesn't support casting web pages, but you could try this experimental feature: http://m.techradar.com/news/software/applications/chromecast-can-beam-videos-from-an-android-chrome-browser-to-a-big-tv-1231007

Sounds like a great idea -- go for it!

Oooops! I was not detailed enough.

I did install Chrome Beta and enabled the Chromecast in the "Flags" on
my Moto G, but that did not work either which I assume was because of
H/W WiFi limitations as mentioned at the KT yesterday.

I had assumed that Chromecast would work on my Linux box with the Chrome
browser that's what I am attempting atm.

(Quite) a few years ago, one of the community centres in Bristol (the
one in an old church -- it's name escapes me) did a number of audio
things (IIRC they had their own studio) and a number of Linux things. I
think they also did Linux audio things. That and Bristol Wireless might
be worth talking to.

For those interested!

It seems I will have to check my ports/firewall!:

Will have another go tomorrow.

Hi,

Its somewhat semi pro ( I spose ), I helped out a friend put a nice Linux
rig together to control microphones and other stuff to back up his guitar
... It was based on Ubuntu.

The hardware iirc, was like a dual core dell system with a specialized
sound card. I had patched up a custom kernel with the RT patches see:

https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page

Using Jack Audio and pretty much from what I recollect here:

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb03/articles/linuxaudio.asp

The quality of his recordings was pretty cool actually, especially since he
moved to a house in West Virginia with a sealed basement.
