## README

chromecast-js
=================

chromecast-js is a javascript client library for googlecast's remote playback protocol that uses DefaultMediaReceiver to play any (compatible) content in the Chromecast, it works by wrapping the [node-castv2-client](https://github.com/thibauts/node-castv2-client) module.

## Installation

From npm:

	npm install chromecast-js 

## Usage

``` javascript
chromecastjs = require('chromecast-js')

var browser = new chromecastjs.Browser()

browser.on('deviceOn', function(device){
  device.connect()
  device.on('connected', function(){

    device.play('http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/big_buck_bunny_1080p.mp4', 60, function(){
        console.log('Playing in your chromecast!')
    });

    setTimeout(function(){
        device.pause(function(){
            console.log('Paused!')
        });
    }, 30000);

    setTimeout(function(){
        device.stop(function(){
            console.log('Stoped!')
        });
    }, 40000);

  })
})

```

## Subtitles and Cover

To include subtitles and a cover image with the media title, use an Object instead of a string in the *play method*:

``` javascript

chromecastjs = require('../')

var browser = new chromecastjs.Browser()

var media = {
    url : 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/big_buck_bunny_1080p.mp4',
    subtitles: [{
        language: 'en-US',
        url: 'http://carlosguerrero.com/captions_styled.vtt',
        name: 'English',
    },
    {
        language: 'es-ES',
        url: 'http://carlosguerrero.com/captions_styled_es.vtt',
        name: 'Spanish',
    }
    ],
    cover: {
        title: 'Big Bug Bunny',
        url: 'http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/images/BigBuckBunny.jpg'
    },
    subtitles_style: { 
          backgroundColor: '#FFFFFFFF', // see http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-color/#hex-notation

          edgeColor: '#AA00FFFF', // see http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-color/#hex-notation
          fontScale: 1.5, // transforms into "font-size: " + (fontScale*100) +"%"
          fontStyle: 'BOLD_ITALIC', // can be: "NORMAL", "BOLD", "BOLD_ITALIC", "ITALIC",
          fontFamily: 'Droid Sans',

          windowColor: '#AA00FFFF', // see http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-color/#hex-notation
          windowRoundedCornerRadius: 10, // radius in px
          windowType: 'ROUNDED_CORNERS' // can be: "NONE", "NORMAL", "ROUNDED_CORNERS"
    }
