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.

I built it because I couldn't cast web video from my laptop to my TV: no Chromecast, no AirPlay.

Point it at any web page and Castor finds the video, extracts the stream, transcodes it for your TV, and casts in real time. It also takes a direct stream URL or an IMDB/TMDB id, and can burn in auto-generated subtitles.

Run castor cast to browse and search titles, inspect posters and metadata, then cast, without leaving the terminal.
