RokuKastFF

A Firefox Port of a Chrome extension to stream web videos to Roku devices.

Building

1. Clone repo
2. yarn install
3. yarn dev to compile once or yarn watch to run the dev task in watch mode
4. yarn build to build a production (minified) version

Installation

1. Complete the steps to build the project above
2. In Firefox: Open the about:debugging page, click "This Firefox" (in newer versions of Firefox), click "Load Temporary Add-on", then select any file in your extension's directory.

Usage

The extension detects streamable videos (in mp4 and hls formats) using two methods: searching the DOM for <video> tags and monitoring outgoing HTTP requests.

In order to use the Cast function, you must configure your Roku's IP address on the Settings page.

Credits

This project is based on RokuCast by Pranav Prakash and chrome-extension-react-typescript-boilerplate by Joe Martella.

As the original github repository is unlicensed, I am assuming inheritance from the original projects.
