I just can't understand how it works

[GoncaloPT]

Can you please me more specific in docs so everyone can understand how to use it?

In my case the chrome.cast.requestSession always sends an error with CANCEL code:

error: Error { code: 'CANCEL', description: null, details: {} }
whoops! there was an error TypeError: Cannot read property 'substring' of undefined

Appears to be the same issue as #35

I've never come across it so not sure what could be going wrong. You can however fix the error and PR it in if you want as described in that issue.

In terms of usage, it is identical to the normal chrome.cast API so check out those docs for that. I know it's identical because I dropped it on to Google sites (GPM and YouTube) and it worked flawlessly 😆

The problem was related to...... TeamViewer.
Teamviewer was somehow used in the calling of _normalizeService but didnt have all the required arguments ( like fullName for example ).

Altough i'm not having the error going i still get the same message:
error: Error { code: 'CANCEL', description: null, details: {} }

This is the service argument of the _normalizeService function:
{ addresses: [ '192.168.1.71' ], query: [], type: [ { name: 'googlecast', protocol: 'tcp', subtypes: [], description: 'Google Chromecast' } ], txt: [ 'id=290aa972e4d85e3b7536015b42b1b39b', 'rm=44382B7A2F7B494B', 've=05', 'md=Chromecast', 'ic=/setup/icon.png', 'fn=Sala', 'ca=4101', 'st=0', 'bs=FA8FCA571EB1', 'rs=' ], port: 8009, fullname: 'Chromecast-290aa972e4d85e3b7536015b42b1b39b._googlecast._tcp.local', host: '290aa972-e4d8-5e3b-7536-015b42b1b39b.local', interfaceIndex: 1, networkInterface: 'pseudo multicast' }

I don't understand the error...

[MarshallOfSound]

The only reason we send cancel is if the promise you provide or the default promise throws an exception.

electron-chromecast/src/cast/index.js

Line 214 in f4185d4

return errorCallback(new chrome.cast.Error(chrome.cast.ErrorCode.CANCEL));

Sure?
`
chrome.cast.requestSession(

    function (session) {

        console.log(session);

    },

    function (error) {

        console.log('error:', error);

     });

`
This is the code i'm running..
I probably have to do something before this but i just can't figure out what.
I have 3 BrowserWindows opened in my app, i just want to cast one of them.

[GoncaloPT]

I've realised that i was using the "normal" and the advanced configuration.

My question is, how to i cast one window using the chrome.cast?
The API is huge and i cant find anything related to electron..

Current status:
After i do:

chrome.cast.initialize(chrome.cast.ApiConfig, onInitSuccess, onInitFailure); chrome.cast.requestSession(onRequestSessionSuccess, onLaunchError);
i get:
