lolcatt 0.2.1

Dependencies

• A font containing FontAwesome icons. The freely available NerdFont collection is recommended.

Installation

pip install lolcatt

Quckstart

To determine the names of local chromecast devices, run lolcatt --scan. Afterwards, run lolcatt --device '<device name>' to start the UI targeting the specified device. A default device and device aliases can be set in the catt configuration file, see catt’s documentation for more information.

To cast, paste either a URL or a path to a local file into the input field and press enter. To seek, tap the progress bar.

For URLs, all websites supported by yt-dlp (which handles media download under the hood) are supported. Find a list of supported websites here. For local media, most common video and image formats are supported.

Youtube playlists are supported, and each contained video will be played in sequence. By specifying a cookie file in the config file (per default under ~/.config/lolcatt/config.toml), you can also access private YouTube playlists such as “Watch Later” (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL).

Troubleshooting

If button icons are not displayed correctly, ensure you are using a font containing FontAwesome icons. Alternatively, you can disable the use of fancy icons in the config file.

If you encounter any other issues, please open an issue.
