JWCastController

@interface JWCastController : NSObject

Controller for enabling casting using the JWPlayerController.

  • Player instance.

    the instance of JWPlayerController in use.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, weak, readwrite) JWPlayerController *_Nullable player;

  • Chromecast Application ID of the receiver application to which you wish to cast.

    Note

    Set this property to a receiver’s Application ID before scanning for devices in order to restrict the scan to Chromecast devices that support the receiver. Leaving this value nil results in scanning for all Chromecast devices.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, copy, readwrite)
    NSString *_Nonnull chromeCastReceiverAppID;

  • Delegate of the JWCastController.

    Note

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, weak, readwrite, nullable) id<JWCastingDelegate> delegate;

  • Casting device currently connected to the player.

    Note

    Set to nil if not connected to any casting devices.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly, nullable) JWCastingDevice *connectedDevice;

  • List of casting devices that are currently online.

    Note

    scanForDevices must be called in order to start listening for devices.

    Declaration

    Objective-C

    @property (nonatomic, readonly)
    NSArray<JWCastingDevice *> *_Nonnull availableDevices;

  • Unavailable
