</span>So are you saying that your using Chromecast was
only possible due to<br>
loopholes? Surely nobody wants a technology solution
based on loopholes<br>
do they? Loopholes get closed, I guess as you have
seen.<br>
<br>
Why do you need loopholes?<br>

<div>At first there was a general default video play on
the chromecast that anyone could use without an API
key. Some of the first released Chromecast apps used
this. Ex: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

One of the first updates to the device removed that
ability and required you to have your own key. Ok
fine. Then when the final SDK was released they will
only issue you a key if you are using their official
SDK, which I was not in the slightest. I'm a website,
not a Java/obj-c app. So I'd have to have apps acting
as a middle man to get anything to work. After having
to start over a few times I just haven't touched it
since.</div>

<div>I'm not saying Myth and chromecasts are a dead end,
just from a website they are basically.</div>

Not sure if you've heard of Matchstick, but it maybe a better
alternative, unencumbered with the draconian restrictions of the
Chromecast. It's well surpassed it's initial goals.<br>

Are you guys sure that the generic player is dead? It is still in
the documentation as not requiring an API key. You can't change or
annotate it, but it will play video. <br>
