So I have a couple of .mp4 files on my network drive that I would like to send to my Chromecast. I was not able to achieve this in the following script. My Chromecast would start and seem to load but no video was ever started:
Now I’ve installed Plex on my Pi and I’ve successfully mapped my network drive and the videos are in the Plex library. Now I want to have a script that sends a specific video in my Plex library to my Chromecast.
Was an answer ever discovered for this? I seem to be in the exact same situation. I’m trying to play a local mp4 file stored on the Hass.io Pi on a chromecast.
