dlnacasts2

dlnacasts2 is a fork of grunjol's now abandoned dlnacasts. This version includes minor improvements, including the addition of setTimeout() to fix situations where a search would conclude before clients had an opportunity to respond.

Query your local network for DLNA media renderers and have them play media

API (and code) based on mafintosh/chromecasts for DLNA

npm install dlnacasts2

Usage

var dlnacasts = require('dlnacasts2')()

dlnacasts.on('update', function (player) {
  console.log('all players: ', dlnacasts.players)
  player.play('http://example.com/my-video.mp4', {title: 'my video', type: 'video/mp4'})
})

API

  seek: seconds, // start by seeking to this offset
  subtitles: ['http://example.com/sub.vtt'], // subtitle track 1,
  autoSubtitles: true // enable first track if you provide subs
}
