, and try to see what actually happens when it hangs on the blue logo. I converted two videos to HLS format, and exposed them through an http server. The video that works with mkchromecast

Install pychromecast
You can use pychromecast like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
