A Node.js library for discovering Chromecast devices on the local network and controlling media playback on them. It provides an event-based API to list players and play, pause, seek, and manage subtitles for media URLs.
Use cases
- discover chromecast devices on local network
- cast a video url to a chromecast from node.js
- control chromecast playback programmatically
- add chromecast support to a media server app
- play media with subtitles on a chromecast
When to choose
- you need to cast media to Chromecast devices from a Node.js application
- you want simple discovery and playback control with a small API
When to avoid
- you need casting to non-Chromecast protocols like AirPlay or DLNA
- you need an actively developed library with recent releases
- you are not using Node.js/JavaScript
