Hi, I read about a trick to send content from kodi to a chromecast device (why there is no addon to send directly to chromecast I do not understand). First, in Kodi (obviously using openSUSE), Setup, services, Control, activate "remote control via http". I did this on port 8081 and opened the firewall for it. Then, in another computer (obviously using openSUSE), open Chrome and point it to the computer that has kodi, access the web page there. This works. Finally, in Chrome, activate the item to cast the screen to the Google Chromecast device (this also works, but). The problem is that when I click on the browser to view a movie, it displays on the remote computer, not on the computer that is running Chrome, so that there is no movie to be sent to the chromecast! What am I doing wrong? How do I have the movie displayed on the local computer that runs the web browser? Or, did I understand wrong, and another Chrome also has to run on the remote computer, and set it to cast to the google chromecast? Daft. The web browser says now and then "attempting websockets reconnect" and then "lost websockets recconnect". Apparently, this should use port 9090, which is opened in the kodi machine firewall, so I have no idea what it is and why it fails. Nothing related in the local or remote firewall. The controls on the web browser (bottom status line) to play, pause, fast forward/backward do not work. And the status line says nothing is playing, despite that something is indeed playing in Kodi. On the top-right of the web browser, there are two tabs. One says kodi, another local. If I click kodi, the movie plays on the remote kodi (and pause works, but only pause, no fast forward). If I click local tab instead, it plays on the remote kodi, but beneath the normal screen.
