Description

Small Python program that will generates an HTML page containing all the videos from a folder. Opened with Chrome, the page will make an easy-to-use interface to stream the videos to local Chomecast devices.

I had several interesting challenges working on it:

• managing a local server for the Chromecast devices to ba able to read the videos ;
• taking care of all the possible actions of a player (play, pause, stop, change video, restart) in a "remote" context (connection/disconnection to the device) ;
• generating a good and usable interface in vanilla Javascript.

I'm quite satisfied with the outcome of this small project: even though it's not perfect, I learned a lot of things doing it (and I have now a way to stream local videos to my Chromecast).
