ChromeCast - Empty receiver list

Question

I'm developping a sender/receiver application but, in my sender app, in always get an empty receiver list.

I did:

• Whitelist my ChromeCast and my receiver page and I received my App ID from Google
• Tick the box: "send this Chromecast serial number to google when checking for updates" and wait more than 1 day
• Install ChromeCast Chrome extension, allow my domain and tick the "developper mode" box on chrome://extensions
• I used this Github to avoid JS mistakes: https://github.com/pjjanak/chromecast-hello-world (I also try with other exemples, without success)
• I put my App ID and set a NameSpace on my app
• My ChromeCast can access to my receiver page.

If I put "Youtube" as appId, my sender app can find my ChromeCast.

I can cast a Chrome Tab and Youtube Android App can cast too.

I can't access to my_chromecast_ip:9222, I found this topics: Initial chromecast setup and Initial chromecast setup it can be my solution but I wanted to ask here before use [email protected] to check if I miss something.

Thanks for help.

Make absolutely sure that the device serial ID you entered in Google Cast SDK Developer Console is correct. I accidentally made a typo when entering my device's serial number ('I' vs '1'). The best way to make sure is to press on this little icon when registering your device. It will be loud and clear, and they use a serif font so you can't mix things like 'l' and 'I' and '1'.

If you found your typo, don't forget to reboot your chromecast device as soon as you see "Ready For Testing" in Google Cast SDK Developer Console.
