# ovos-media-plugin-chromecast
chromecast plugin for [ovos-audio](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-audio) and [ovos-media](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-media)
## Install
`pip install ovos-media-plugin-chromecast`
## MPRIS
This plugin only allows you to initiate playback in a chromecast, if you want to control your chromecasts when playback is initiated externally, you can install [cast_control](https://github.com/alexdelorenzo/cast_control) on your system to provide a MPRIS interface
ovos-media will then be able to seamlessly integrate with your chromecast at all times
## Configuration
The easiest way is to use the provided `ovos-chromecast-autoconfigure` command
```bash
$ ovos-chromecast-autoconfigure
This script will auto configure chromecast devices under your mycroft.conf
Make sure your devices are turned on and connected to the same Wifi as you, otherwise discovery will fail
