Atomicated posted:Are app developers capable of programming in Chromecast support currently? Has there been any comment on how difficult it is? I'm curious when we might start seeing additional apps supported. The SDK is live now: https://developers.google.com/cast/ Google claims most developers should be able to add functionality in about 200 lines of code. Their example of the 'receiver' app that runs on the chromecast is literally a ~20 line standards based html file.

For people in the UK, Currys/PC World are selling Chromecasts for £20 and Amazon & Tesco for £18 (with £5 free Blinkbox credit). There's probably a refresh coming (not to mention Android TV), but it's a great price none the less.

Wish there were more games for Chromecast. I'd like to somehow see Cards Against Humanity ported; that'd be hilarious. There is!

uninterrupted posted:Third party support is never going to speed up because the Nexus Player has no market penetration and is one of the few Android TV devices with an Intel chip. I thought this wasn't an issue now that everything's moved from Dalvik to ART?

Jerk McJerkface posted:They promised a bunch of new features, since it has bluetooth, speakers, usb port, etc that are all non-functioning. But it's been out a couple years and it's barely been improved. Infact they EOL'ed it basically and replaced it with a Google WiFi, which doesn't have POE in a most It does however have feature-parity with Google WiFi and will act as a node in a Google WiFi system.

PC World in the UK are currently bundling free chromecasts with all their chromebooks, which is a pretty good indication we're probably getting new chromecasts at Google I/O later this month...
