castme 0.1.5

REPL to stream music from a Subsonic server to a chromecast

CastMe

CastMe is a simple Python REPL that allows you to cast music from a Subsonic server to a Chromecast device.

NOTE: The subsonic server must expose a URL over HTTPS. And since the chromecast will be the one connecting to the server, the certificate need to be trusted. This project is tested against Navidrome only.

It's pretty bare-bone for now, but as I am using it more and more I will add the features that I need.

Installation

• Clone the repository
• Install the required dependencies using Poetry or the install target:

make install

• Copy the config file template "castme.toml.template" to one of the supported directory and update the values inside
  • "castme.toml"
  • "~/.config/castme.toml"
  • "/etc/castme.toml"

Usage

• Run the script, a REPL will appear:

> poetry run castme
Loading config from /home/blizarre/.config/castme.toml
Finding chromecast
Waiting for cast to be ready
Chromecast ready
