Download the setup.sh file and in a terminal (on your Pi) type: chmod +x setup.sh\n\n2). After setup is done? Make sure it's running, in a browser visit: http://ip-to-your-Pi:3000.\n\nNote: PiCAST uses Forever which means PiCAST runs forever, UNTIL the Pi Reboots.\n\n3). Try streaming a Video (e.g. YouTube) by typing: http://ip-to-pi:3000/yt-stream/\u003cYouTube Video ID\u003e\n\nThat's it! We've made PiCAST as easy and small as possible using web technologies. This will run easy on\nalmost ANY Linux Distro as well that's Debian based or modify to run on RHEL/CENT.\n\n\u003cb\u003ePiCAST COMMANDS (CURRENT)\u003c/b\u003e\n\nStart PiCAST: sh /path-to/PiCAST/picast_start.sh \n\nStop PiCAST: sh /path-to/PiCAST/picast_stop.sh \n\nBROWSER REQUESTS\n\nStream YouTube Video: http://pi-ip:3000/yt-stream/video-id\n\n\n\u003cb\u003eI WANT MORE COMMANDS!\u003c/b\u003e\n\nI've made PiCAST3 so simple, anyone can add/create his/her own feature they'd like BUT I do ask that you'd\nrelease it to the project so that everyone can enjoy your new features and so on. I have more coming, but\nthis was just to get this edition out already.\n\n\u003cb\u003eMY PI REBOOTED, PICAST DOESN'T WORK!\u003c/b\u003e\n\nAs I mentioned before, once your Pi reboots you'll need to manually type the forever command (see above)\nOR you can just cd into the PiCAST Directory (e.g. cd /home/pi/PiCAST) and type: sh picast_start.sh OR\njust type \u0026 paste: sh /home/pi/PiCAST/picast_start.sh\n\n\u003cb\u003eWhy Make PiCAST?\u003c/b\u003e\n\nSeveral years back I wanted to buy a Google Chromecast originally but it was sold out. So, I thought what do I have that I could use w/HDMI and wouldn't be terribly hard to do? My Raspberry Pi can do it all \u0026 now the PiZERO can too!\n\nAs Chromecast has changed over the past few years, my interest in this project went away... BUT... I had some time off and wanted to see how tiny we could make PiCAST (not including just the requirements- which to be debated). So, PiCAST 3 is here.\n\n\u003cb\u003eTHIS ISN'T CHROMECAST! YOU LIE!!!\u003c/b\u003e\n\nAs many seem unable to read or understand where the project CURRENTLY is and where it WILL go, I felt I need to dumb it down even more. This project doesn't have over 20-100+ paid-staffers, millions of dollars backed to ensure it succeeds, a dedicated team, and MONTHS \u0026 MONTHS of work where the PiCAST HAS NONE OF THE ABOVE-- so, calm down!\n\nI made it very clear, this is \"LIKE\" a chromecast, as it can be sent commands REMOTELY just like the Chromecast (now via Browser/HTTP Request via CURL or even WGET)... I am working on the BEST possible method(s) to continue forward.\n\nSo before you go nuts that the project isn't what YOU think, think twice. I do have a full-time job BUT I am so upset with Google, I want an OPEN, FREE, US/NON-US PERMITTED USERBASE, and if you're against it? Don't download it, go make your own and share it or don't. \n\n\u003cb\u003eWHAT TO EXPECT TO BE INSTALLED...\u003c/b\u003e\n\npython-dev python-pip nodejs npm youtube-dl lame mpg321\n\n\u003cb\u003eI WANT MY TIME/FREE EXCHANGE! WHO DO I COMPLAIN TO?\u003c/b\u003e\n\nEasy does it... Tweet me, @LanceSeidman as that's the best chance of a response.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flanceseidman%2FPiCAST","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Flanceseidman%2FPiCAST","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Flanceseidman%2FPiCAST/lists"}
