THIS PROJECT IS ARCHIVED AS I AM NO LONGER DEVELOPING THIS (NOW I USE A MIBOX DEVICE WITH KODI SO I NO LONGER REQUIRE THIS).

IF YOU REQUIRE SUPPORT

pychromecastweb is a web application that allows you to browse parts of the local filesystem and cast videos to a Chromecast.

This is in a very rough state. To do something, follow the instructions below, go to /admin/, create a media source pointing to folders with media files, go back to /, browse and cast.

You can also go to /admin/ to add Chromecasts manually, this is useful if you are running this on a wired network or the Chromecasts are in a different subnet.

DEVELOPMENT

$ pipenv install --python 3.6 -e .[dev]
$ pipenv run python manage.py migrate
$ pipenv run python manage.py createsuperuser
$ CAST_HOST=<ip of your host> pipenv run gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 pyccw.wsgi -w 4

Chromecasts seem to use Google's public DNS servers, so you need to specify which host should the Chromecast use to reach the embedded web server for media files.

INSTALLATION

This will install it under your user account:

$ pip3 install --user git+https://github.com/alexpdp7/pychromecastweb.git
$ CAST_HOST=<ip of your host> django-admin migrate --settings pyccw.settings
$ CAST_HOST=<ip of your host> django-admin createsuperuser --settings pyccw.settings
$ gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:8000 pyccw.wsgi -w 4

If ./.local/bin is not in your path, you might need to prepend it to the gunicorn and django-admin commands
