Alright, for those of you who have Slingbox (Slingbox.com - Slingbox Home) and I'm pretty sure you know what Slingbox is. It's an absolutely amazing device that lets you watch your TV from anywhere in the world without paying any extra fees. Go to the site to learn more.
Anyways, for those who have Chromecast and Slingbox both, I bet you checked to see if you can get the Slingbox working on Chromecast. Well I just got it working and here is how:
*Have a feeling why it works with the Facebook one is because the Facebook one I don't think you need to download any Slingplayer codec, with the one on the Slingplayer website you do.*
Goodnight
Anyways, for those who have Chromecast and Slingbox both, I bet you checked to see if you can get the Slingbox working on Chromecast. Well I just got it working and here is how:
- First you DO NOT go to the slingbox.com page where you can watch your slingplayer (that won't work. All you get is a blank black box on your TV once you hit the cast button).
- So what you do is from your Google Chrome Web Browser you go to the Facebook app version of slingbox here (https://apps.facebook.com/slingplayer_/) .
- If you already are login to Facebook a Sling Player login box should appear (if you haven't login into Slingplayer from facebook before).
- Login in with you Slingplayer E-mail/Username and password.
- Click on which device (if you are like me you have more then 1 Slingbox in your house) you want.
- Then hit the cast button to send it to Chromecast.
- Go to your TV that Chromecast is on and it should be broadcasting correctly and working good.
*Have a feeling why it works with the Facebook one is because the Facebook one I don't think you need to download any Slingplayer codec, with the one on the Slingplayer website you do.*
Goodnight
