- encryptluks2 5y agoThis is a joke, right? If it requires a Raspberry Pi then it is not different than Kodi or wherever else that supports the same functionality. I feel like the authors here reinvented fire and then are refusing to acknowledge or admit that it has already been done.
- akvadrako 5y agoHow do you cast a movie from your laptop to Kodi?
- encryptluks2 5y agoFirst, that isn't how Chromecast works.. however, for me to cast a movie from my laptop to Kodi I just enable file sharing on the directory that I want to share and then I can access it in Kodi and play it using the remote. I can also serve it via HTTP or SFTP.
- encryptluks2 5y agoUpdate: Saw that NewPipe even offers a stream to Kodi option. NewPipe is a popular open source YouTube interface.
- akvadrako 5y agoThat is how Chromecast works. And it doesn't require you to setup a local file share, then browse to it via another interface. For example you can open a video in a player (like VLC) and choose "Render -> to Chromecast".
- encryptluks2 5y agoThat is because VLC would act as the streaming device and that functionality exist with Kodi as well.
