RaspberryCast 3.0

Transform your Raspberry Pi into a streaming device. Cast videos from mobile devices or computers to your TV.

Android app on Google Play Extension for Chrome Extension for Firefox

Works with all youtube-dl supported websites: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html (YouTube, SoundCloud, Dailymotion, Vimeo, etc...) and also any direct link to mp3, mp4, avi and mkv file.

You can also cast playlists from Youtube or Soundcloud.

How to install (Raspberry Pi side)

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vincelwt/RaspberryCast/master/setup.sh && sudo sh setup.sh

That's it.

The installation script will:

  • Download RaspberryCast and install the necessary dependencies
  • Autostart RaspberryCast at boot (added to /etc/rc.local)
  • Reboot

You can review the install script.

Cast videos from computer

Works on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows (Python needed)

Download

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vincelwt/RaspberryCast/master/rcast.py

Usage

python rcast.py video.mkv <subtitle.srt>

Subtitles can be given as an optional second argument. If no subtitle argument is found, RaspberryCast will attempt to find a subtitle file with the same name as the video. In the case of TV shows and movies, RaspberryCast will attempt to match the video with an appropriate subtitle file. This behaviour can be disabled in the configuration file.
