Metadata

A Dart package for discovering Chromecast devices and DLNA renderers.

1.5.1 #

  • Documentation refresh: updated README and related docs to align with the new mDNS/MethodChannel flow and recent API parameters.

1.5.0 #

  • Reused a shared MDnsClient for mDNS scanning to avoid multiple bindings to port 5353; on Apple platforms, mDNS results now come via a Flutter MethodChannel (Bonjour).
  • Removed native_mdns_scanner and bundled FFI binaries to shrink the package; cross-platform scanning now relies on Dart and the MethodChannel path.
  • Kept the v1.4 AirPlay three-type enum (airplayRxVideo/airplayRxAudio/airplayTx) and isAirplay* helpers to preserve API compatibility.
  • Added an enableMdns parameter to findDevices and findDevicesAsJson* to let users skip mDNS in restricted network environments.
  • Added a flutter SDK dependency in pubspec.yaml to support the MethodChannel; pure Dart still uses multicast_dns/stub and does not touch Flutter APIs.

1.4.0 #

  • BREAKING CHANGE: Simplified AirPlay device type enum from 5 types to 3 types for cleaner classification:
    • Removed: airplayTxMobile, airplayTxDesktop, and backward-compatible airplay type
    • Kept: airplayRxVideo, airplayRxAudio, airplayTx
  • Implemented direct mDNS service type mapping for AirPlay device classification:
    • _airplay._tcp → airplayRxVideo (AirPlay video receiver)
    • _raop._tcp → airplayRxAudio (AirPlay audio receiver)
    • _companion-link._tcp → airplayTx (AirPlay transmitter)
  • Updated scanAirplayTxDevices to use _companion-link._tcp instead of _raop._tcp for better device categorization
  • Enhanced DiscoveryService device categorization logic to properly handle the new simplified AirPlay types
  • Improved AirPlay device getter methods (isAirplayTx, isAirplay, isAirplayRx) to work with simplified enum structure
  • All existing isAirplay checks continue to work, maintaining backward compatibility for device detection logic
  • Updated device classification logic to be more straightforward and maintainable

1.3.0 #

  • Enhanced output format: added dlna_rx, dlna_tx, airplay_rx, airplay_tx, and count fields to the JSON result for more granular device categorization.
  • Updated README.md:
    • Output format and device information examples now reflect the new fields and structure.
    • Added a command-line output example with sensitive information masked (***).
  • Improved example code:
    • Example now prints AirPlay RX/TX results in addition to Chromecast and DLNA.
    • Comments and output are now in English.
  • CLI/JSON output: sensitive information (such as device name, IP, ID) is masked with *** in documentation and sample outputs to protect user privacy.
  • All API parameters previously named timeout have been renamed to scanDuration for clarity. Please update your code and CLI usage accordingly.
  • Minor documentation and code cleanups.

1.2.0 #

  • Fixed an issue where the logger could cause a "bad state: Future already completed" error in certain scenarios
  • Added usage examples and documentation for AirPlay RX and AirPlay TX device discovery

1.1.0 #

  • Added a comprehensive event notification system for real-time device discovery updates
  • Implemented event-based architecture with DeviceFoundEvent, SearchStartedEvent, SearchCompleteEvent, and SearchErrorEvent
  • Improved search efficiency by making DLNA Renderer and MediaServer scans run in parallel
  • Added callback mechanism to scanChromecastDevices and scanDlnaDevices functions for immediate device discovery notifications
  • Created new examples demonstrating event-driven device discovery in both CLI and Flutter applications
  • Enhanced user experience with real-time device discovery feedback
  • Exposed deviceEvents stream from ChromecastDlnaFinder for application integration

1.0.5 #

  • Implemented device duplication detection mechanism to ensure each device appears only once in results
  • Added device ID-based duplication detection during mDNS scanning to solve the issue of multiple responses from the same Chromecast device

1.0.4 #

  • Enhanced localization file path detection for various usage scenarios (global CLI, library dependency, Flutter app)
  • Added support for finding locale files in global installation directories
  • Implemented automatic locale file detection in Flutter applications (Android, iOS, macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Added embedded translations as fallback when locale files cannot be found
  • Improved error logging with detailed path information for better diagnostics
  • Updated asset configuration in pubspec.yaml to ensure proper packaging of locale files

1.0.3 #

  • Major refactor of logger system: removed LogMode/suppressOutput, now uses setOutputs({LoggerOutput.stderr, ...}) for flexible log output control (stderr, stdout, broadcast, or silent).
  • Support for logger broadcast stream for app/Flutter UI log listening.
  • Added dependency injection for logger in ChromecastDlnaFinder (app/desktop can inject their own logger instance).
  • Internationalization (i18n) greatly expanded: now supports English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Hong Kong Chinese, and more. Fallback order: language-region-variant → language-region → language.
  • Improved locale fallback logic and file detection (e.g. zh_TW-Hant → zh_TW → zh).
  • Updated CLI and API usage to match new logger and i18n system.
  • README.md fully rewritten and enhanced to reflect new architecture, usage, and features.
  • Test suite updated to match new logger API and i18n logic.
  • Various bug fixes and code cleanups.
