Shortkut The Con Is On Cast
Barton Ostby
Now you have 2 ahk icons on your desktop. Double clicking CastOn.ahk starts casting and leaves Chrome minimized (just wait for the magic to happen). Double clicking CastOff.ahk stops casting and closes the opened Chrome window invoked in this script.
So, I have a partial solution, and as of know, it's the only solution I know of. The only part I couldn't figure out was how to switch from casting tab to casting desktop. But, here's a nifty powershell script that you can use.
And if you save this as a ps1 file (such as chromecast.ps1) in your documents, you can create a shortcut on the desktop that points to this file. (You can then go into the properties of the shortcut and change the icon if you'd like).
It opens chrome.. opens the cast tab... but there is no way to seclect the SOURCE as desktop from the drop down source list.. and there is no way to select a specific casting device if you have more than one.
If you could provide the code snipit to select the drop down box.. and select a specific selection .. either by selection id or name.. that would be great..I could then try to bastardize the code to make it select the SOURCE and DESTINATION properly.
I also launch this directly from within a batch file... so i can call the batch file from ANY program.. it comes in handy for applications that allow you to map key or an event into a function or activity.
Example: I have StreamDeck device i use when streaming video.. i can simply map one of the streamdeck buttons.. to launch this batch file.. and bam.. one button press on the device.. and i'm autocasting to my chromecast device as well.

Sometimes scripts are written by numbers, like kids playing with blocks of LEGO. A setup here, a twist there, a plotpoint right after. Neeraj Vora's new Short Kut: The Con is On is essentially made up of vintage Priyadarshan bricks, from an unscrupulous funny guy to an earnest leading man to an ensemble of friendly neighbours all hurrying around a convoluted plot that, while not making actual sense if you think about it, passes by breezily enough to seem almost credible.
All well and good, and Short Kut manages reasonably well except for a fatal flaw in this join-the-dots kind of filmmaking: it's one thing to get all the elements in place, and wholly another to make the gags actually funny. So while there are obvious jokes in place, the lack of a strong cast and actual vim fail to get the first half off the ground, but all those setups ensure that the post-interval proceedings are engaging enough. By the time the Bowfinger-inspired climax comes around, chances are you're actually laughing.
At a time when 'comedies' seem to have become nothing but a mindless procession of gags, it's good to see writer Anees Bazmee come up with an actual plot. The points of conflict in Short Kut are authentic, and -- thanks to Akshaye Khanna's stoically solid performance -- you do end up feeling for the leading man as he undergoes severe trials and tribulations.
Khanna, in fact, is the finest thing in this film by a long shot as he plays a wannabe writer-director. It's hard to bring meat to a character doused in integrity, but Khanna manages to stay clean and keep it believable as his character struggles with heroine woes, betrayal and writer's block. Amrita Rao doesn't have much to do, occasionally looking nice and often not.
Arshad Warsi, as the villain of the piece, is loaded with lines and situations but the thought of being the leading man instead of a supporting actor seems to have pushed the otherwise talented comic actor into an unfortunate state of overdrive where he tries way too hard -- and that's never a good thing, especially with humour. He oversells the gags, hams it up and while he succeeds as coming across as a scumbag, it's a pity to see him waste a good opportunity. The supporting cast is plain ghastly.
Vora tries hard to bestow his film with good-humoured heart, but when the building blocks are this obvious the heart is invariably a Hallmark one and succeeds only in making the film maudlin where it shouldn't be. Still, at least it tries -- and doesn't descend into the moronic badly-written innuendo most films today thrive on. No, Short Kut is definitely more wannabe-Nukkad than wannabe-No Entry, and that has to be a good thing.
Short Kut had the potential to be a genuinely funny one, and while it mostly flubs that promise up throughout, it does manage a few moments. It could really do with a pretty significant re-edit, though.
I'm sure a lot of people pictured characters incorrectly, at least on their first read. I know I did, when I started reading the series at 16. I'd like to know the "mistakes" you made and any funny/interesting insights into why you made them? And was it hard to correct them?
Elayne: I keep imagining her as small to average height, gorgeous, curvy (but not quite chubby), with blond wavy hair and still looking 16-ish. I know that she is taller than average and with red-golden hair... but this is one I just can't correct. I think it might be connected to her first appearance where she kind of appeared like a stereotypical spoiled princess age 16. And parts of that personality still sticks to her character so that's where she's "stuck" for me. I like and enjoy my version of Elayne though, and it kind of fits with her spirit which is still adventurous and playful, and with Aviendha joking about her love of sweets, and her pregnancy. (Interestingly it seems that many people who draw her agree with me).
Nynaeve: On my first read I pictured her with blondish hair (no idea why). I also pictured her taller than Elayne and Egwene, while she definitely is not taller than Elayne, and probably the same-ish height as Egwene. I think that part had to do with her age, I probably figured older=taller which is a mistake I still sometimes make.
Loial: This one is surely wrong. I can hardly describe how I imagine Ogier. Big and furry and kind of cartoonish. Looks nothing like any drawings I've seen, but those vary greatly too.
Maybe this is just me, but I always pictured Min as being super young (like 15) just because of how she talked to Rand in TEotW. Managed to correct this by the time Rand and her hooked up in ACoS, thankfully
I'm not sure you can imagine a character's appearance incorrectly. Sure, the author does provide basic stuff like body, hair color, etc but what makes reading so much better than movies or tv is that part of the story becomes a construct of your own mind. Your imagination creates the world based on a set of rules set down by the author. No reader imagines Elayne exactly the same as RJ did. This is also why I hope they never decide to make a WoT movie.
