Web UI

There is now a web UI available from http://serverIp:port/list that will let you select and cast various media files that are available from the mediaDirectories.

The UI is responsive and designed to be available on mobile devices, though mobile support isn't available yet because a Mobile Chrome SDK isn't available (if ever?).

Non-h.264 file support

Support for non-h.264 encoded media formats is somewhat supported. If the file is not an MKV or MP4 file, it will be automatically transcoded to a format compatible with the Chromecast. More file support filtering will come over time.

Video container fixes

The video container will now be fixed as 1280x720 to match the Chromecast standards. This will allow 4:3 content to stretch with the proper aspect ratio.

Now playing information

The file name that is currently being casted will be shown.

The container is also vertically centered now which helps for anamorphic content.

What's next for v0.3.0

  • Show the current time of the video
  • Skip forward to specified time on video start
