DayCast
A Windows-based Google casting application.
Description
This application will let you cast any *.mp4 file from your home network to any Google device, such as a Chromecast or Google Home.
Simply compile it and run the DayCastClient.exe or use the pre-compiled one in the Build folder! The DayCastServer instance should be properly started and stopped automatically when the client is opened/closed.
Features include queueing up files, changing playback rate and full reconnection if closed.
The local DayCastClient config file can be updated with a specific local IP address and Port used for the server communication (default being 5121). The server also supports an HTTP action to enqueue files or folders, with an optional minimum date for, useful for automation or smart home integration! (i.e. http://192.168.0.101:5121/D%3A%5CHomeSec%5Cvideo%5CIPC-LivingRoom%5C2_2018-09-09_17-03-56.mp4). Have a look at DayCastServer's QueueControlller.cs if you want to see all of it's functionality.
