Usage

  1. start the TCP proxy server
    • command-line: 
        chromecast_ip='192.168.0.100'
  chromecast_port='8009'
  proxy_port='3000'

  ws-tcp-proxy "${chromecast_ip}:${chromecast_port}" --port "$proxy_port"
    • is a required workaround for the limitation that client-side javascript cannot make TCP socket connections
      • allows the client-side javascript to connect by websocket
      • pipes data from the websocket to the TCP socket
      • pipes data from the TCP socket to the websocket
  2. run the client-side javascript library in a web browser
