:tv: send local videos to Chromecast - but maybe don't use it

localcast's Issues

sometimes I get an error

When I leave the server running for a while -- often putting the computer to sleep and waking it back later -- I get an error. This seems to be new to the latest servercast feature, though I am not sure the error is related.

Error: write EOF
    at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
    at WriteWrap.afterWrite [as oncomplete] (net.js:870:14)

Error: read ECONNRESET

server exited with code 1

set duration to 0 when a new video starts casting

clean up old servercast code

new crash issue

trim all the whitespace

add seeking for servercast

figure out where this error is coming from

(node:10500) [DEP0013] DeprecationWarning: Calling an asynchronous function without callback is deprecated.

Steps:

• load list of files
• click on file to load thumbnail
• error is seen right after thumbnail call

This is happening in Node 8.

handle case where there are no chromecasts on the network

add controls for when casting through the browser

hide controls when a video is done casting

• on controls:seek-end
• on a cast notification that the media stopped
• the stop button is clicked

replace raster icons with svg (it's easier)

Or use these: https://material.io/tools/icons/?style=twotone

the entire seek bar drifts to the right after the seek end

use sendFile instead of sendfile

express deprecated res.sendfile: Use res.sendFile instead server\app.js:52:9

download ffmpeg at setup

• write postinstall script
• update code to use new ffmpeg
• permanently delete committed ffmpeg to keep repo small

add a queue for servercast videos

show overlay on top of video when hovering with the video title

show overlay on top of video when video is over, showing the video that will play next

• make sure there is a small pause between a video being over and playing the next one
• show name and thumbnail of the upcoming video

stream thumbnail image to stdout and read it as a stream

when connected to player, show connected cast icon, hide status sync button when not connected

disable server-cast

it has not worked for a very long time... I don't think it's a useful feature for now.

"cannot find device" when playing video while another video is playing

Steps:

1. Play a video. Wait a little bit.
2. Play another video while the first one is still playing.

You should immediately get an error that the device is not found. Controls still seem to work. No videos will play after that until the server is restarted.

init with servercast status when the page loads

add play/pause for servercast

[create stories] add auto-play / play all feature

• Play all videos in order from the folder.
• Add small pause between videos
• Show the name and thumbnail of the upcoming video
• Make feature optional (can turn it on and off)
• Show overlay on video with title when the mouse moves

add quick seek buttons for servercast

relates to #23

add stop for servercast

infinite loading on video thumb overlay

When loading the UI on a remote device, the image does not appear sometimes. The loader remains infinitely. You need to press back and then open the video again to get to the play button.

reconnect to media after server restart

This kind of stuff happens if trying to pause/resume/seek after a server restart:

  data.mediaSessionId = this.currentSession.mediaSessionId;
                                            ^

    at D:\Node\cast\node_modules\castv2-client\lib\controllers\receiver.js:86:5

It should be possible to call status when this happens to reconnect to the currently-playing session.

add ability to show list of videos instead of grid

use browser-cast when available

auto-play a video from the splash after a timeout

• auto-play when progress bar reaches end
• cancel auto-play if the user manually plays or casts
• cancel auto-play if the user manually closes the splash

check out chromecasts

https://www.npmjs.com/package/chromecasts

try to fetch status without starting the default video player

• figure out how to get the info
• integrate it into the workflow

add prev/next buttons to quickly navigate forward and backward in video

30-second skip buttons

use HTTPS

[Deprecation] Using the Presentation API on insecure origins is deprecated and will be removed in M68. You should consider switching your application to a secure origin, such as HTTPS. See https://goo.gl/rStTGz for more details.

closing a modal by clicking in the black space does not remove the last history state

Steps:

1. Open the main view
2. Go to a folder
3. Open a modal
4. Click in the black space
5. Click the browser back button

Expected result: goes out of the folder and back to the main view.
Actual result: stays in the folder. It will exit to the main view on the next back click.

make sure controls work throughout page navigation

• when navigating folders
• when using forward/back keys
• when a page refreshes

add seek controls

implement sync for controls

add video title to the controls section

add ability to request status

use left and right arrows to navigate playing video

add ability to navigate the list forward and backward from the splash

when video is over, play next video

• video plays in embedded mode
• video plays in fullscreen mode
• video title updates correctly
• page title updates correctly
• video does not exit fullscreen mode
• modal closes correctly
