ryanbarrett/catt-chromecast repository overview

The chromecast has a simplified version of chrome installed that can launch web pages.

Stavros Korokithakis⁠ made a python package that sends a url, via the cast_site argument, to a chromecast device.

use -e ARGUMENTS='arguments'

⁠catt-chromecast

docker run --rm -e ARGUMENTS='-d 10.1.11.86 cast_site https://ismyinternetworking.com/' ryanbarrett/catt-chromecast

And you should see something displayed like:

Casting https://ismyinternetworking.com/ on "Ryan's Display"...

I set up a cron job to run daily e.g.

22 5 * * * /usr/bin/docker run --rm -e ARGUMENTS='-d 10.1.11.86 cast_site https://ismyinternetworking.com/' ryanbarrett/catt-chromecast

Example rotators and 4-up html pages in my examples⁠
