Show HN: BigScreen sends pictures and music from OS X to ChromeCast

Was looking for an easy way to send pictures on my computer to my ChromeCast, and thought having a "native" app would be a nice way to do it without having to cast a Chrome tab. Since Google explicitly doesn't make SDKs available for anything other than iOS/Android/Chrome I ended up wrapping a couple of things together in a long little afternoon. Let me know what you think!

Here is a C# library and sample app to send photos to an Apple TV using AirPlay:<p><a href="https://github.com/spouliot/airplay" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;spouliot&#x2F;airplay</a>

Looks nice! I&#x27;ve been using <a href="https://github.com/googlecast/CastHelloVideo-chrome" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;googlecast&#x2F;CastHelloVideo-chrome</a> plus some custom Java code to stream video content for a few months now. I&#x27;d love to have something like this as a UI instead of my cobbled mess. Drop me a PM or email @gmail if you want to compare notes. Cheers!

Nice, I have been looking for something like <a href="https://github.com/thibauts/node-castv2-client" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thibauts&#x2F;node-castv2-client</a> for a while.<p>All of the other NodeJS clients I found were written for version 1 and stopped working, so I ended up forking Popcorn Time and hacking it to work in a regular browser so I could use the official Chromecast Extension.

Try this for on the fly transcoding even unsupported media: <a href="https://github.com/mustafaakin/cast-localvideo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;mustafaakin&#x2F;cast-localvideo</a> Disclaimer: I made this, but people seems happy using it.

If I use this to play music, will my computer still go to sleep and stop playback like when I use a brower-based music app?

Why are there recent Macs without HDMI ports? You&#x27;d think that would be ubiquitous by now.

If it was for Linux I&#x27;d gladly give it a spin.
