Raspicast

Media App for the Raspberry Pi

LEGACY: The OpenMax API is deprecated, you need a 32 bit RPI OS and omxplayer installed to run it.

• Cast YouTube videos

• Cast media content from your android device

• Play local media files on your Raspberry Pi

• Play streams from playlists (m3u, pls) on your Raspberry Pi

Requirements:

You just need a Raspberry Pi with a running SSH-Server, the omxplayer and optional a little image viewer. I only tested it with Raspbian, but there is no reason why it shouldn't work on other distributions.

Features:

• Controllable via a seekbar

• Hardware volume buttons

• Support for multiple audio and subtitle (srt-format) streams

Usage:

• To cast YouTube videos to your Raspberry Pi just open the YouTube app and a video and choose "Share" → Raspicast.

• To play streams just copy a playlist (m3u or pls format) to your android device and open the list via the app, or play the streams manually from the actionbar.
