This version has the following improvements:

  • If the application fails, the process that ensures streaming with node will kill all streaming servers created by mkchromecast.
  • Now there is a systray menu that you can launch as follows:
python mkchromecast.py -t

To use it, you need to install PyQt5. In homebrew you can do it as shown below:

brew install pyqt5 --with-python

You can use the package manager of your preference. In a future release, a standalone application will be provided.

This new revision has the following improvements:

  • mkchromecast has been ported to work with Python3. This is also possible because pychromecast works as well.
  • The nodejs binary has been recompiled, and node_modules have been updated.
  • The program seems to be more stable.

0.1.1

In this new version multithreading is dropped in favor of multiprocessing. This is to reconnect the streaming server easily. Killing processes is easier than killing threading it seems.

I strongly encourage you to upgrade to this version.

  • In this beta release, the program casts to the first google cast found in the list.
  • If the node streaming server fails, the program reconnects.
