Avideo: Chromecast plugin enabled so... where is it?

[jfcolom]

Chromecast plugin is enabled, so I was expecting to see a button somewhere in the video player. Where is it?

The question has already been submitted in #1750 as a bug, and it provides screenshots. The issue was closed by stating that it is not a bug, but the question remains unanswered.

Hi, I only have this button active if there is a cast object detected in Chrome. If it is off the browser has not detected the chrome cast device.

• Chrome : standard no extra needed but opening the cast button in the option menu.

• MS Edge you need to enable it first :
  type in the URL bar : edge://flags
  It opens a page that says : "Experiments"
  paste in the search pane : #load-media-router-component-extension
  It will give you something like :
  
  Change default to enabled. It will prompt to restart to activated the changes.
  Restart the browser and go to the three dots in right side top. and go to the following menu:
  
  Select "Cast media to device"
  It will search for your chrome cast and from that moment the chrome cast button is active after on the page.
  

• Firefox has as far i know no built in support for chrome cast.

I hope this answers your question.
Tested and confirmed working on the latest git pull

I have just pulled the last version. In Chrome browser (81.0), the chromecast button is shown in youtube.com site. Unfortunately, it does not appear in AVideo platform.

Then try the next steps to determine if everything is correctly loaded.

• Look for lines with : silvermine-videojs-chromecast.js in the page.
• Check with the console (f12) for errors if everything is loaded.

If yes

• Ask a 3th party to test your site outside of your home network to be sure it is not a local pc/network or also other people have this problem.

It for me enabled on AVideo.com
I mean the button.

• The script silvermine-videojs-chromecast.js appears linked from the page's source code
• I see the following warnings in the js console, but I think they are not related to the plugin

video.min.js:12 VIDEOJS: WARN: videojs.plugin() is deprecated; use videojs.registerPlugin() instead
(anonymous) @ video.min.js:12

DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not load content for http://gontube.com/AVideo/videos/cache/js/bootstrap-select.js.map: HTTP error: status code 404, net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE

• Same problem with different clients inside my network. The chromecast device is shown in youtube.com videos. Unfortunately, I cannot test it from outside my network.
