Is anyone using chromecast on a Fedora computer?
It appears to run on my laptop under chrome
but does not produce any output.

FWIW, I use the LiveNow! TV app on my tablet, which is powered by "filmon" and I
noticed that if I use that app or access the websites from my table I have access to more
channels in the UK than if I access from my F21 system.

I wasn't aware of that site. A quick perusal shows quite a few channels
but not all.
The voice and picture is slightly out of sync,
but not to a disturbing degree.
Not sure of the legality of all this?
If I go directly to the BBC I am told that I cannot receive BBC
out of the UK.
But surely they know of filmon and its competitors?
No idea. Since it's a streaming site it would seem to be easier to go
after than the torrent sites, but I wouldn't know. It all seems to be
live streaming, which wouldn't suit everyone (no iPlayer for example).

Yes, I assumed you knew that. Download the Google Cast app from the
Chrome store.
No, that was my error.
It is now working perfectly.
What confused me was that there was a Chromecast icon on the chrome page,
and clicking on it seemed to do something ...
Thanks again for your help.
Anyway all is fine now.

Yes, precisely - I too have a Samsung TV (Series 6).
I can use chromecast with my Samsung phone (Galaxy S5)
but not from my Thinkpad T510 laptop running Fedora-21/KDE,
using chrome (or Firefox).
Is there a chrome plugin one is meant to add?
Yes....

I have a chromecast dongle connected to one my Samsung TV's HDMI port and I cast
content to it from my F21 system running the Chrome browser.
Ditto, to a Sony Bravia TV, again using Chrome on F21.

OK, thanks.
I'll experiment, and see if I can work out exactly what is happening.

IIRC, I had to configure the chromecast device using a Windows
computer. After that, I've been able to run it from Fedora, Windows
and Android.
