nodejs player remote control

Control a media player on mac, windows, linux using a remote control in the browser.

why did I create this APP?

I wanted to watch anime on Crunchyroll on my samsung tv, sending it from my cell phone via airplay, but the content wouldn't load, so I ran Crunchyroll on the PC sending it to the TV, but I needed a method to control the player, there are already several apps that are used for this, but most of them release this Media Player function just by paying, so I decided to make mine only with the functions I needed.

how use

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/Krash0/nodejs-player-remote-control.git

Enter the project directory

  cd nodejs-player-remote-control

Install the dependencies

  npm install

Start the server

  node index.js

Access the web remote control using http://localhost:3000/ or http://LOCAL_IP:3000/

observations:

For you to control the player (with the exception of increasing and decreasing the volume) the window has to be active, because the server simulates pressing the keys: space = pause left arrow = retrosseder right arrow = forward
