Super lazy way to cast something to a Chromecast at a specified time interval.
- Run
npm install - Modify the mdna source as outlined in the linked mdns source articles
- Use the autoCast.service file to set this up as a long running process
{
"device_name": "SomeCast", // target device to send media to
"start_time_schedule" : "at 8:00 am every weekday", // when the media should be played
"end_time_schedule" : "at 6:00 pm every weekday", // when the media should stop being played
// This is from the chromecast spec. I'm casting MPR, but change this to whatever
"media": {
"contentId": "http://nis.stream.publicradio.org/nis.mp3",
"contentType": "video/mp4",
"streamType": "BUFFERED",
"metadata": {
"type": 3,
"metadataType": 0,
"title": "MPR"
}
}

- correctly configure mdns instead of the in source modification
- For some reason if both jobs run at the same time, only one succeeds
- Reformat
- Test
