Method Detail

- (BOOL) isSameDeviceAs: (const GCKDevice *)  other

Tests if this device refers to the same physical device as another.

Returns YES if both GCKDevice objects have the same category, device ID, IP address, service port, and protocol version.

- (BOOL) hasCapabilities: (NSInteger)  deviceCapabilities

Returns YES if the device supports the given capabilities.

Parameters
deviceCapabilitiesA bitwise-OR of one or more of the GCKDeviceCapability constants.
- (void) setAttribute: (NSObject< NSCoding > *)  attribute
forKey: (NSString *)  key 

Sets an arbitrary attribute in the object.

May be used by custom device providers to store device-specific information for non-Cast devices.

Parameters
attributeThe attribute value, which must be key-value coding compliant, and cannot be nil.
keyThe key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be nil.
- (NSObject<NSCoding> * __nullable) attributeForKey: (NSString *)  key

Looks up an attribute in the object.

Parameters
keyThe key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be nil.
Returns
The value of the attribute, or nil if no such attribute exists.
- (void) removeAttributeForKey: (NSString *)  key

Removes an attribute from the object.

Parameters
keyThe key that identifies the attribute. The key is an arbitrary string. It cannot be nil.
- (void) removeAllAttributes

Removes all attributes from the object.

Property Detail

- (NSString*) ipAddress
readnonatomiccopy

The device's IPv4 address, in dot-notation.

Used when making network requests.

- (uint16_t) servicePort
readnonatomicassign

The device's service port.

- (NSString*) deviceID
readnonatomiccopy

A unique identifier for the device.

- (NSString*) friendlyName
readwritenonatomiccopy

The device's friendly name.

This is a user-assignable name such as "Living Room".

- (NSString*) manufacturer
readwritenonatomiccopy

The device's manufacturer name.

Deprecated:
Use the modelName or custom attributes instead.
- (NSString*) modelName
readwritenonatomiccopy

The device's model name.

- (NSArray<GCKImage *>*) icons
readwritenonatomiccopy

An array of GCKImage objects containing icons for the device.

- (GCKDeviceStatus) status
readwritenonatomicassign

The device's status at the time that it was most recently scanned.

- (NSString*) statusText
readwritenonatomiccopy

The status text reported by the currently running receiver application, if any.

- (NSString*) deviceVersion
readwritenonatomiccopy

The device's protocol version.

- (BOOL) isOnLocalNetwork
readnonatomicassign

YES if this device is on the local network.

- (GCKDeviceType) type
readnonatomicassign

The device type.

Since
3.3
- (NSString*) category
readnonatomiccopy

The device category, a string that uniquely identifies the type of device.

Cast devices have a category of kGCKCastDeviceCategory.

- (NSString*) uniqueID
readnonatomiccopy

A globally unique ID for this device.

This is a concatenation of the category and deviceID properties.
