# dlnanow

This is a command-line utility that can be used to stream media files to your DLNA-capable devices (Smart TVs, Xbox One, etc). It supports playback of local video files, videos on the web, and torrents.

Internally, this script simply wraps [castnow](https://github.com/xat/castnow)'s middleware functions for serving content.

## Installation

```sh

$ npm install -g dlnanow

```

## Usage

```sh

# start playback of a local video file

$ dlnanow ./myvideo.mp4

# play a file from the web

$ dlnanow http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/ED_1280.mp4

# start playback of a video over torrent

$ dlnanow 

# start playback of a video with subtitles

$ dlnanow ./myvideo.mp4 --subtitles 

# transcode some other video format to mp4 while playback (requires ffmpeg)

$ dlnanow ./myvideo.avi --tomp4

```

## Or, as a module

```javascript

var dlnanow = require('dlnanow');

// Add some logging

dlnanow.use(function (ctx, next) {

  ctx.on('status', function (status) {

    console.log(status);

  });

  next();

});

// Enable some castnow plugins

dlnanow.enable('stdin');

dlnanow.enable('torrent');

dlnanow.enable('localfile');

dlnanow.enable('transcode');

dlnanow.enable('subtitles');

// Go!

dlnanow.launch(opts, function (err, player, ctx) {

});

```
