Smart TVs won't cast arbitrary web video, and screen mirroring is laggy and drops resolution. Castor casts the real stream instead, at full quality, from your terminal.

Point Castor at a web page you are watching, or at a direct stream URL, and it finds the video, extracts the stream, transcodes it for your TV, and casts in real time. It can also resolve an IMDB/TMDB id against sources you configure yourself, and burn in auto-generated subtitles.

To extract, it launches headless Chrome and watches network traffic over the Chrome DevTools Protocol, then runs a short action pipeline to start playback: click the page, navigate into the largest iframe, and click again as a fallback. This works on pages that allow automated playback, and won't work everywhere.

love seeing tools that solve everyday annoyances
