Chromecast Deep Dive
2021 - 2023
This series is a deep-dive into the design and implementation of Google Cast, the protocol that powers Chromecast, as well as other devices in the Chromecast built-in ecosystem. The final result of this work is a working Google Cast Receiver, written in Go, which has now been published as the GoCast project on GitHub.
To write this series, I’ve pieced together information from various articles and open source projects, including Google’s Open Screen Library project.
