# Local-cast

Stream local video/audio content to a Chromecast on your network.

## Overview

**local-cast** is a nodeJS application which scans for video and audio artifacts

in your local network, and allows them to be cast to a connected

[chromecast](https://www.google.com/intl/en_uk/chromecast/).

**local-cast** exposes a material-ui based web interface (using React) to

allow you to select and cast movies, as well as a remote control.

## Setup

Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (at least v4.2.2), confirm it works with:

    $ node -v

    v4.2.2

    $ npm -v

    2.14.7

Clone this repository, and inside the created directory:

    $ sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

    $ sudo npm install -g gulp

    $ npm install

## Running locally

Whilst this codebase is evolving quickly, the front-end uses a series of

mocked endpoints to provide some scaffolding until the back-end API is

written. To start the front end:

    $ gulp
