Browse your local movies with IMDB data and stream them to a Chromecast.

The Open Movie Database API is used to fetch data about your media files -- including the poster.

Required

• A Chromecast - specifically its name
• A directory of media - formatted like some.title.year.quality.format

Setup

Install the required python packages:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Export a few required environment variables:

$ export CHROMECAST_IP=10.0.0.72
$ export MEDIA_PATH=/media/usbhdd/movies
$ export SECRET_KEY=,n\xa7\xdfq\x08h\xb8\x8c\x8af.B\x93y*\xd3\xf5\x10;

Run the server:

$ python app.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 5000 --debug
