Keep chromecast alive when app goes into background
Problem to solve
When chromecasting in mobile apps (ex Xamarin forms), keep chromecasting in background.Right now chromecasting is stopped when app goes to background
Intended users
All users who chromecast are used to that it is possible to go to other apps and still keep chromecasting alive.
Proposal
Use background services or similar or create api for continue chromecast in a background service on iOS and Android
Users can use there devices for other things while chromecasting. Other chromecast apps can do this and users expect it.
Documentation
We need a sample or written documentation on how to achieve this.
Here are a link for a git repo for testing on android. https://github.com/blombas/VlcChromecast.git
on my phone chromecast will continue for around 10 minutes, then it will be disconnected
