Hello all.
Hello all.
I'm developing a Firemonkey application where I have a (portrait mode) fullscreen PDFs slideshow, using fmx animations and effects to see a nice result.
I would like to be able to show/replicate this fullscreen application also in a vertical - portrait mode - TV (tipically a 40"), and the goal should be to get this without using cables.
I've goggled a lot for delphi examples, blog posts, etc. without a real help, except a nice Steffen Nyeland 2014 example on how to start a youtube video from a desktop application using a Chromecast dongle.
My feelings are that a Chromecast could be a road to explore.
Any advice on how to pratically implement this type of PC to TV "application cast"?
Thanks
Marco

Have you considered starting from here: developers.google.com - Remote Display | Cast | Google Developers ?
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea, yes, that's exactly what I meant saying that Chromecast is maybe something to deepen. And I was looking for a Delphi wrapper of those APIs, I'm not sure to be able to write one (easily) by myself
ReplyDeleteI confess, I still tend to start thinking to a project as a windows one, so, my bad, I have not enough investigated the simple use of an android solution of screen mirroring, maybe one that is already there on the market, to pick.
ReplyDeleteWell, you can easily mirror any android (5+ IIRC) device screen to a chromecast without any change to your application but I think this is far from perfect for a business app. I would happy to delve into Cast APIs but at the moment I have limited time... It would be a nice addition for Delphi to support Chromecast easily, IMHO (anyone willing to scratch the surface?)
