@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 **/
