Project status

[1j01]

Instead of having a section called "THIS ISN'T CHROMECAST! YOU LIE!!!" and saying "I made it very clear, this is "LIKE" a chromecast", how about just be actually upfront about the state of the project.

PiCAST turns your $35 Raspberry Pi in to a Chromecast and beyond like Device.
(emphasis added)

It sounds like you're saying it can do everything the Chromecast can and more, or at least just about.
(Whereas it doesn't seem even to work. Am I supposed to find and use the version 2 branch?)

The packages have clearly changed and so has Raspbian since it's initial release.

I have not gone back through and updated everything for the latest packages. If you go into the branches you'll see the older versions that existed and should work as well if you want to manually install that way.

P3 was meant to be modular, so people can build on top of it. Sadly life and my job has taken over the time I would have been dedicated to this. I still have modules/features that would have been implemented but are yet to be finalized.

Hopefully soon enough I will have what would have been released in the initial, finally come out to at least match the previous edition.

But the project is open for anyone to fix and build off of.

Thanks for building the project @lanceseidman , I worked on it and came with my own implementation !

It should be working out of the box now :

It's pretty similar, still based on a Node JS server, but with few options added!
