How to change the WiFi network my Chromecast is connected to (via: Frequently Asked Questions – Chromecast Help)
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/07/15
Duh: don’t start the Chromecast extension in Google Chrome, but run Chromecast.app on your Macbook (:
To change the WiFi network your Chromecast is connected to, simply open up the Chromecast app on your phone, tablet, or computer and select your Chromecast from the list. From the Chromecast settings page, select your current Wi-Fi network name and select a new network from the drop-down list.

Some more Chromecast development notes and links
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/29
Some notes and links for Chromecast development:
- Streaming to URL that is based on IP-address or a publicly visible hostname (i.e. the DNS entry must be accessible from Google services).
- You can host in a public directory on a Google Drive.
- Lots of examples at Google Cast; start with googlecast/CastHelloText-chrome and googlecast/CastHelloVideo-chrome and googlecast/CastVideos-chrome..
- Android development is not yet possible as it requires the Google Play Services library version 15, which will become available when the Google Play Services version 4.2.39 has been rolled out to enough Android devices.
- Join the Google Cast Developers – Community – Google+.
- Wrap your Googlecast JavaScript loading logic up like Gerwin Sturm – Google+ – Google Cast SDK Chrome Loader Being my “lazy” self I’ve… and read Gerwin Sturm – Google+ – In an ideal world where everyone is running Chrome with the….
- The Google Cast team monitors even more resources. I’ve mentioned most already, except for:
- Google Cast on StackOverflow.
- Shawn Shen – Google+ – Public beta channel for the Google Cast extension (for Chrome)….
- Mathieu Gosbee – Google+ – I added a local video streaming Chrome App….

Android: manually install Google Play Services 4.2.39 so AllCast and others can stream to Chromecast
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/02/09
Over the years, Google Play Services has started to play a much bigger role, arguably more important than the Android version (also making it impossible to fork Android: Neither Microsoft, Nokia, nor anyone else should fork Android. It’s unforkable. | Ars Technica).
This shows again with the publication of the new Google cast SDK with public Chromecast support release last weak (I think the SDK name being broader than Googlecast means there will be much more to come in the feature).
Though most current Android users are still at version 4.1.32 of the Google Play Services, Google is rolling out a 4.2.39 version to enable that SDK. After it has rolled out to enough devices, then the Play Services library version 15 part of the SDK will be released for Android as well (which will complement the existing support for the iOS and Chrome platforms).
The odd thing: it looks like *some* developers already have this SDK, as AllCast already has been updated and it does not work with Google Play Services 4.1.32, but it does work with Google Play Services version 4.2.39. Below I show you how I tested this, and how to manually upgrade your Android device to use Google Play Services 4.2.39. Read the rest of this entry »
