How to play YouTube videos in google chromecast from Flutter application?

Question

My Flutter application has some YouTube video links. Those YouTube links, i would like to stream through google chromecast. I have seen some video stream casting using the below flutter libraries.

• https://pub.dev/packages/cast

• https://pub.dev/packages/dart_chromecast

But those libraries are playing MP4 format video streaming. So i am searching for the way to play YouTube videos though flutter application in chromecast.

Please someone suggest me if there is any code clues for this.

We had the same challenge, and we searched high and low. Finally found this solution to make it work: https://pub.dev/packages/dart_chromecast

Make sure your flutter compiler is downgraded to 13 or below. Otherwise, you will not be able to compile. Unfortunately, their code is not supported in a newer version of the flutter compiler and the author is not going to update anytime soon.
