Basic Chromecast streaming application. Allows you to stream compatible movies to Chromecast. Also allows you to control anything currently streaming to the chosen Chromecast, even streaming Apps like Hulu or Netflix.
git clone https://github.com/lschpmn/video-player.gitnpm isource ./source.shstart
On startup will look for the first Chromecast it finds on the local network and connect to it. If you already have something streaming on that Chromecast, this application will give you basic media controls of whatever is streaming. The application also allows you to stream your own content to Chromecast. The content needs to already be compatible with Chromecast, (mp4 almost always works, other file types are hit-and-miss). The application starts up a mini server that exposes the file you want to play, and the application sends that url to Chromecast.
