Shanocast is a Google Chromecast receiver which works with the Google Chrome browser. Demo:
shanocast-demo.mp4
Shanocast runs on Linux and is reproducible via a Nix Flake
Get Nix and enable flakes, for example via the DetSys Nix installer
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf -L https://install.determinate.systems/nix | sh -s -- install
Or if you prefer a single 21M~ file, get a statically compiled Nix binary
curl -L https://hydra.nixos.org/job/nix/master/buildStatic.x86_64-linux/latest/download-by-type/file/binary-dist > nix
chmod +x ./nix
$ nix run .#shanocast lothe final argument lo specifies the network interface where the cast_receiver runs.
Finally, start Google Chrome and Shanocast should be listed as available for casting.
Build Openscreen (commit 2a4dbe65) with this patch
Shanocast is based on Openscreen which is an open-source implementation of the Google Cast protocol. The device authentication is performed with precomputed signatures taken from AirReceiver. You can find more information in this blog post.
Shano (шано) is a Bulgarian slang word meaning shady or illegal.
