Will Private URL be accepted for Chromecast Device Registration?

Chromecast Device Whitelist Request, First Time Registration states that

It is ok for your receiver to be on an internal (NAT'd) IP address, but not http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 as that will resolve to the Chromecast device itself and will not work.

So is it fine, If I provide private URL for Whitelisting my device and URL? I provided following URL

http://192.168.0.1/rdx/englishfree.html

Above is the local IP of my machine, the IP is provided by the router internally. So is this URL acceptable by Google ? Google cannot check this URL, since it is behind my router.

I have not received any mail from google yet from past 2 days (for rejection or acceptance)

Please advice.

Solution

  • 192.168.0.1 is a perfectly valid address. We are currently running the WL process every 3-4 days, so it should happen shortly.
