Can someone please put me out my misery and tell me how I cast a YouTube video to a Chromecast using Node-Red?
I’ve been trying to get it working and searching the web for hours! I can cast other videos fine, I just cant seem to cast any from YouTube.
TIA
Node red, no. But you can use the media extractor of home assistant.
I have had some luck with it but it does not cast all videos it seems.
Take a look at the “play a video on chromecast” example and see if that helps. There’s an entry for YouTube.
the example uses the following URL (http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/big_buck_bunny_1080p.mp4)
when I try to use a Youtube url (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRTtMcx6rSM&t=12s as an example ) it returns "Not able to load media:Load failed Not able to load the media."
Did you get it to work with a youtube url ?
i am having this same error. Bunny video is playing fine, but cant stream anything from youtube.
anyone figure this out?
I’m trying to do this as well.
