Description

A simple dashboard application for Chromecast. Display any web page accessible by the Chromecast device.

Benefits

Unlike tab casting (or screen casting) which requires the sender device to remain active in order to encode a video+audio feed that is sent to the Chromecast this approach renders the web page directly on the Chromecast which has two primary benefits.

  1. The sender device can be disconnected from the Chromecast
  2. There is no constant network usage required to send video+audio feed

Usage

Visit the following Url for the sender portion of the application.

Enjoy!
