      @bugsounet/cast

      I created this library if you want to cast youtube in your module.
      This library is very simplified and ready for use in your node_helper.js

      This library is used in MMM-Assistant2Display

      single node routine for casting YouTube (or other ?) in webview tag

      Installation

      npm install @bugsounet/cast
      

      Sample with cast contructor

      const Cast = require("./index.js")
      
      this.config = {
        castName: "MagicMirror_Cast",
        port: 8569
      }
      
      var debug = true
      
      this.cast= new Cast(this.config.cast, callback, debug)
      this.cast.start()
      
      setTimeout(() => { this.cast.stop() } , 30 * 1000)
      
      function callback(noti, castLink) {
        if (noti == "CAST_START") console.log("Open this link:", castLink)
        if (noti == "CAST_STOP") console.log ("Cast End")
      }
      
      /** Note: Open the castLink in a webview tag **/
      /** needed useragent= "Mozilla/5.0 (SMART-TV; Linux; Tizen 2.4.0) AppleWebkit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) SamsungBrowser/1.1 TV Safari/538.1" **/
      

      constructor of cast

      Cast(castConfig, callback, debug)

      castConfig {}
      • castName - Name of your device for reconize it in Cast apps
      • port - server port
      callback (notification, castlink)
      • CAST_START - return the url for start casting in a webview frame
      • CAST_STOP - return end of casting
      debug

      if you want debuging information, just set to true

      Functions

      • start() : start cast listener
      • stop() : force stop cast server

      Notes

      • Actually only YouTube works but may be other (in another update…)
