Anyone know a good dart score keeper for chromecast?

[BlackDynamite]

The title basically says it all. I'm looking for an app that can keep score when we're playing darts, and I'd like to chrome cast it to a tv.

Doing a whole screen cast (mirroring the phone screen on the chrome cast) won't work because I'm also going to be playing music through a Bluetooth speaker at the same time. I tried to use a dart score app and just mirror the phone screen through the chrome cast but that forced the music to go through the TV speakers.

So I need an app that supports chrome cast. Then it would all work.

Anyone know of one?

I'm thinking that you could try it with a spreadsheet.

That seems like too much work with alcohol involved, lol. Darts is a pretty fast paced game that is usually accompanied by drinking. I don't want to slow it down so I can type in a spreadsheet.

I was thinking something like this:

Just tap a number and it does everything for you. But I need it to support chrome cast so I can put the scoreboard up for all to see.

Get a cheap second phone, don't activate it, use it for screen casting (requires KitKat).

I'm not familiar with the bug / limitation / feature that precludes use of bluetooth while casting your screen, but I'll take your word for it.

For my own benefit (I play with chromecast and b/t but haven't tried them at the same time), can you explain more about the nature of the limitation? If it is some kind of interference of signals, one would think it would apply regardless of whether you were casting the screen or casting an app which will require ongoing communication between phone and chromecast (to enter the scores). Or maybe there's just less communication involved in casting the app so less chance of interference?

Screen casting sends system video and system audio to the Chromecast.

It trumps other audio routing.

App casting casts only what the app specifies - video or audio or both.

Yeah I could do that, but I'd rather keep it limited to one device if at all possible. Every app should support chrome cast, lol.
