README
Rhythmbox Chromecast
Stream all your local music to your Chromecast (Audio).
----
Installation:
First make sure you've installed python-pip.
Run this script (You can also use it to update it):
```bash
$ wget -O - https://git.io/vwzUw | bash
```
Or manually
```bash
$ cd ~/.local/share/rhythmbox/plugins/
$ git clone https://github.com/KeizerDev/Rhythmbox-Chromecast.git chromecast
$ cd chromecast/
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
```
After that you have to update the `Prefs.py` file with your preferred settings. This is a quick fix because of the lack of a decent GUI. **Will be fixed soon!**
Milestones:
- [x] Connect to a Chromecast.
- [x] Play/Pause music with button/media buttons.
- [x] Send local music to your chromecast.
- [ ] Create a GUI where you can select/connect to your chromecast.
- [ ] Create a settings menu for port and ip settings.
- [ ] Create support for other plugins that are not local.
- [ ] Listen to Rhythmbox volume manager and change it on the chromecast.
- [ ] Mute rhythmbox locally (or give option to do so).
Optional:
- [ ] Create support for multiple chromecasts
**Known bugs:**
- When starting Rhythmbox with the plugin or when you enable it, it will freeze for a while. This because it will auto connect to the chromecast you've filled in the Prefs.py file. This will be fixed when we have a GUI.
