I created a library to use the AIDL service from #CastLab and make things simpler for devs.
It works well, and I integrated it into a local build of #NewPipe for more extensive testing. I was able to cast a live video to #FCast.
Everything will be released soon in 1.7.0.
I am adding an AIDL service to #CastLab, so developers of gallery and video apps can add a cast button (no Google dependencies) and control playback on TVs, #FCast receivers and DLNA devices, without implementing the protocols or a local HTTP server themselves.
CastLab handles discovery, streaming and the notification controls, and stays in the background while the user keeps browsing the host app.
