Beyond the MediaRouter, let's build our FooBarCast!
summary
A Raspberry Pi-based “FooBarCast” project that integrates with Android’s MediaRouter: it uses NsdManager for mDNS discovery, implements a custom MediaRouteProvider, and uses the OCast SDK to launch and control a DIAL-capable app on the Pi. The talk explains exact service descriptors and callback flows (including when descriptor changes cause route updates), demonstrates an end-to-end prototype streaming to a TV, and notes issues with multicast discovery flakiness and interoperability quirks with Google Cast controllers.
