In the GSoC ideas page for P2PSP, the 13th idea states Chromecast support
for P2PSP. There are two ways of providing chromecast support to a project.
One is through a Google Cast API (which is used by Google play music,
netflix etc ) but google has strict guidelines and restrictions on these
users. However, the other method is through a Google Cast Extension which
is easier because Chromecast offers WebRTC support. The only problem,
however, with this is since Chromecast will create a lightweight HTML5 page
every time data is sent through the <video> tag of HTML5, the data will be
encoded and transmitted. This requires better computers which may not be
available to our users at all times. Since the position of a peer in a
network on P2PSP is extremely important considering the DBS set of rules, I
don't think this will be a viable option.
I request you to kindly assist me with this.
