torrent-stream + chromecast
npm install -g peercast
Usage
Be on the same wifi as your chromecast and do
peercast magnet:?xt=urn:btih:99feae0a05c6a5dd9af939ffce5ca9b0d16f31b0
Currently this does not do any transcoding so the torrent should be mp4 (or whatever chromecast supports)
Programmatic usage
var peercast = require('peercast')
var engine = peercast(torrentOrMagnetLink)
engine.on('chromecast-status', function(status) {
console.log('chromecast status: %s', status.playerState)
})
engine.on('chromecast-playing', function(file) {
console.log('chromcast is playing %s', file.name)
})
