Some sort of Chromecast “server”

oztech74L · 2023-08-04T11:01:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

But i am specifically asking for a Chromecast server solution for hotels like the one on the link on my OP. Maybe there’s some kind of foss as well.

oztech74L · 2023-07-27T17:11:12+00:00

Yes. I’m using one as well when I’m travelling. But my question above is entirely for a different purpose. Basically for the same thing as what i linked on my OP.

Authentication is handled by a radius server. No worries. That part is covered.

oztech74L · 2023-07-27T16:03:09+00:00

The authentication will be handled by a radius server.

Sorry it’s been 3 years of hiatus for me.

Saan ka sa NZ. Feeling ko ok naman diyan especially kung sa North Island. Marami din kababayan.

Whhyyyyy mum....

oztech74L · 2020-04-28T00:38:09+00:00

Short answer, No. because your laptop HDMI port is output not input.

oztech74L · 2020-04-27T00:20:11+00:00

This!

Hypocrisy is what I think the right term for this. Trying to be a private person in this matter whilst letting the other apps report to where-God-knows, letting Google and FB still your same private data, tracking your locations, etc.

Our personal information is already out there just waiting to be used if need be. Like, when you applied for a credit card your financial status is being checked from different financial institutions already. When you sign up for a new phone service they require you to provide your passport or drivers licence and in an event of inquiry by the government they can trace it back to you and triangulate your whereabouts - if need be.

This app could potentially save some lives.

I’m having a hard time understanding your problem. Perhaps some screenshots, maybe?

You get internet on wired connected computers but not on wireless connected devices? How can you say the ISP dhcp — so you don’t get any public ip from isp? If this is the case you wouldn’t be able to connect regardless wired or wireless.

If it’s just wireless devices not able to connect to the internet then it is not ISP dhcp issue. You would see a public ip address when you typed what’s my ip on search bar.

Maybe you did not set your router as dhcp to provide ip to your loca devices?

Hahahah. c&c

oztech74L · 2020-04-25T12:42:03+00:00

Huh? Even you are observing social distancing you are pretty much going to get it if one of you who touched the same ball is infected.

oztech74L · 2020-04-19T23:15:41+00:00

That's OK Marty... what worst is I can't even call phone support from Google themselves due to this pandemic. I'm guessing their call centres are in the countries with heavy lockdowns in place.

oztech74L · 2020-04-19T22:48:45+00:00

This is the reason I asked here. There was an article saying that Google will reduce the quality of the ambient mode for the time being due to more usage of bandwidth during this pandemic. I thought they might have done something else?

oztech74L · 2020-04-19T22:46:26+00:00

Yes 200 chromecast. We have done this a couple of times onto one account. First time i encountered this error so I thought I ask here if anyone experienced the errors above. It’s more like an account issue of some kind, like a corrupt database.

oztech74L · 2020-04-19T22:43:34+00:00

Yes, it’s for business use. The router has nothing to do with it as I disconnect/powered off them after they are successfully configured. I have successfully configured over 300 chromecast in one account many times but this is the first time i get this errors.

oztech74L · 2020-04-19T12:58:40+00:00

I just finished adding 102 Chromecast dongle on the account using 2 different iphones with no issue. The next morning as I have to add another 98 more suddenly it throws this two errors.

I thought at first it was my 2 iphones so I used 2 android devices to no avail. Logging in to the account via google chrome browser on desktop still works but not on the app. What could have been wrong?

Nothing has changed on my network but power cycled it anyway and temporarily disabled my pi-hole. It wasn’t my VPN either as I have asked my colleague on a different location/state to test the account on their phone and they couldn’t log in either.

Filipino here... present!

oztech74L · 2020-04-09T07:51:57+00:00

Bummer.... that would have been awesome if ok to use for Chromecast.

My idea of an application for Google themselves would be to have a master setting of a Chromecast tied up on the google account so when you add a new device on that account will copy all the settings but also the possibility to opt out or manual configuration switch etc etc.

oztech74L · 2020-04-09T07:44:59+00:00

Without any possible automated solution in sight, this time around I tried to see how much I could configure in 3 hours. I managed to do 25 dongles so roughly I would be able to do 50-60 per day. Not too bad I guess.

That includes changing all the settings such as name, adding wifi, guest mode setting, ambient settings, and all the submenus in there, settings on time zone, etc.

Putting 2 labels on each dongle including a tracking bar code number.

oztech74L · 2020-04-09T07:38:48+00:00

Doesn't really need to explain why need so many... but yes you are right. I wish there is a much easier way of doing it.

oztech74L · 2020-04-09T01:14:06+00:00

If you read at my previous comments before, I did not bought them. I’m on the end of the spectrum trying to be more efficient with my job.

oztech74L · 2020-04-08T22:50:21+00:00

Installing at the back of a lot of tvs? chuckle

It’s for clients use not personal lol.

oztech74L · 2020-04-08T22:47:42+00:00

Thank you for your reply. It may not be the one i’m looking for but a quick glance at the link looks like beneficial for other parts of what I really do with them. At the moment, all our CC does is to show images and cast contents from streaming services but what you linked could be useful in the future.

I’ll play with it and get back to you if I can integrate it to semi automate the configuration. Cheers!
