Running as server like MPD

[empirefox]

Any plans?

Hey @empirefox, would it be possible to elaborate a bit on this? Go2TV casts media files directly to the selected devices that support the Direct Media Renderer service without any actions on the device itself. So there needs to be some form of application trigger to push those contents to the devices.

There are other applications like miniDLNA or MediaTomb that offer you a content server which you can browser from your TV or other devices. Is this what you're suggesting?

On a different note, the CLI option in Go2TV is quite versatile. You can have it running in the background, looping over media folders.

screen -d -m bash -c 'for q in ~/Videos/*mp4;do go2tv -v "$q";done'

This command for example will run in the background and start casting all your .mp4 files one after another

Thanks @alexballas. I just want to running a MPD-like server on a pi. Then I could make a flutter app to control it from my phone.
