[HN Gopher] Show HN: ytcast - cast YouTube videos to your smart ... ___________________________________________________________________ Show HN: ytcast - cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line hi, this is a project I've been working on and off for the last three months, it's my first non-trivial, non-hello-world, actually useful (at least to me) go project. it would be very nice if you could just try the program and see if it works on your setup! the readme[0] explains how it works, why I wrote it and how it fits in my "command-line centric" computing environment (there is also a video demo[1] :)). if you know go, feel free to take a look at the code and review it! I'm still pretty much new to go and I'd love to hear opinions, feedback and tips from more seasoned go developers :) [0]: https://github.com/MarcoLucidi01/ytcast#ytcast [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07aWOpi8DVk Author : marcolucidi Score : 70 points Date : 2022-02-16 18:49 UTC (4 hours ago) (HTM) web link (github.com) (TXT) w3m dump (github.com) | brunoqc wrote: | Can it remove ads? | marcolucidi wrote: | nope | jlkuester7 wrote: | Nice!
