Overview

peercast

torrent-stream + chromecast

npm install -g peercast

Usage

Be on the same wifi as your chromecast and do

peercast magnet:?xt=urn:btih:99feae0a05c6a5dd9af939ffce5ca9b0d16f31b0

Currently this does not do any transcoding so the torrent should be mp4 (or whatever chromecast supports)

Programmatic usage

var peercast = require('peercast')

var engine = peercast(torrentOrMagnetLink)

engine.on('chromecast-status', function(status) {
  console.log('chromecast status: %s', status.playerState)
})

engine.on('chromecast-playing', function(file) {
  console.log('chromcast is playing %s', file.name)
})

  • simplify stuff by using chromecast-player

    simplify stuff by using chromecast-player

    Hey,

    I've build a small lib called chromecast-player a couple of days ago. Its purpose is to simplify the process of finding a chromecast device in the network and then starting the playback of some media file. Checkout if this could be a fit for peercast :)

    Add exit message

    When Node.js have been working hard (steaming torrent's apparently is hard) it can sometime take a while to exit. The user might not know this and thinks it will not exit. This PR will print a nice message to the user telling him that we got the request and are working on exiting...

  • Tell the user if no chromecast available

    Tell the user if no chromecast available

    I ran peercast today and it downloaded the entire torrent I wanted to cast without ever casting it to my chromecast. I eventually realised this was because the chromecast wasn't discoverable on the network - it would be cool if peercast had a big notice to the user that the casting wasn't going to happen.

    (I ended up watching with playback, which is awesome :))
