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

   • example
   • dependencies:
     • protobufjs@6.8.8
     • browser-castv2@2.0.0
     • browser-castv2-client@1.0.0
