Chromecast status

[MaffeMuis]

Old topic But i did a little update to this script.
i run the chromecast read script on a raspberry and run domoticz on a NAS and this kind of scripts I dont want to run on the same system.
So I updated this old script to Phyton3.7
I'm not a Phyton guy, but if someone like to changes the light when netflix starts, maby it's helpfull
Changes in the URL the Idx for a youtube switch or a netflix switch and changes the friendlyname Tv in your google cast name.
And if some-one is better in phyton then me? Please make ajustments to help
