chromecast_dlna_finder 1.4.0

A Dart package for discovering Chromecast devices and DLNA renderers.

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.
