I’ve been messing about with a small 3"x3" touchscreen from AliExpress that is a clone of the Sonoff NSPanel Pro running Android 8.1. Using Blakadder’s information, I’ve got a launcher and managed to install Plexamp on it successfully. It looks great! The only thing that I currently can’t get working is that the ‘cast’ icon doesn’t show any of my Chromecast devices. It only shows the touchscreen itself and my headless Plexamp running on a RPi. Is there some service that the touchscreen is missing to be able to show the Chromecast devices? Noting that there’s obviously no Play Store on this thing nor would it likely have any other Google Services running on it. I also installed BubbleUPnP and that shows all the Chromecast devices. Maybe it’s doing it a different way.
Chromecast requires Google Play services so if you can get that installed on your device you might be able to have some success.
Thanks Sam. I’m guessing this is where my journey ends because I can’t get Google Play Services running on my device. I’ve tried multiple versions and it just won’t run.
I’ll keep tracking this topic and If anyone else should solve this in the future, please respond here. I don’t have the technical skills to get any further unfortunately.
