A .Net application that sends fake multicast DNS packets, allowing you to cast from a mobile device to a Chromecast on a different network.
Originally designed to play Cardcast (http://www.cardcastgame.com) remotely.
Created by Ephemerality [email protected]
- Mobile device capable of casting to a Chromecast
- Windows computer on the same network as your mobile device
- .Net Framework 3.5 or higher
- MiscUtil (included)
- Forward ports 8008-8009, TCP and UDP, to your Chromecast
- Run the application on a computer on the same network as your mobile device
- Enter the name you want to display (does not need to match your Chromecast)
- Enter the public IP address of your Chromecast
- Click one of the buttons to send once or continuously
- You should now see the fake Chromecast show up on the mobile device
- If the ports are properly forwarded and the correct IP was entered, you should be able to cast to it
- If you have VMWare/VirtualBox installed, you may have to disable the network adapters for it to send through the proper interface...
