Netflix casting

Opened this issue · 3 comments

Is this the only way to cast Netflix content via HA? Could the March update of HA have added some better support for Netflix? I have a working HA casting Plex media, and would need Netflix support to complete it. I also don’t have a spare android device unfortunately. I apologize for posting this here, I just can’t seem to find a more relevant place.

At least at the time of me writing the extension it was the only way.

Unless netflix has created an api, it probably still is

I see. I thought maybe since the chromecast already is linked to a netflix account, it could be enough to find the correct content type and id combination to be able to cast it.

One way I did try was using google assistant through the API. It didn't allow sending "authenticated" commands such as starting video playback.

That might have changed since then. Worth a look!
