## What it is
Cast All The Things (catt) is a Python command-line tool that sends videos from hundreds of online sources (via yt-dlp) or local files to a Chromecast. It also supports playback control, subtitle conversion, and rendering websites on the device.

## Use cases
- cast a youtube video to my chromecast from the terminal
- send a local mp4 file to chromecast
- cast a website to chromecast
- pause and control chromecast playback from the command line
- add subtitles when casting a local video
- stream any yt-dlp supported site to chromecast

## When to choose
- you want a simple CLI to cast online or local videos to a Chromecast
- you need playback control (pause, volume, seek) without an app
- you want automatic SRT-to-WEBVTT subtitle conversion when casting

## When to avoid
- you need casting to non-Chromecast devices like AirPlay or DLNA
- you want a graphical interface
- you need to cast DRM-protected content
