 1 | #Chromecast Unix Audio
 2 | Uses `cvlc` to create an http stream of your local audio and sends it to the chromecast.
 3 | 
 4 | ##Installation
 5 | ```bash
 6 | $ (sudo) npm install -g chromecast-unix-audio
 7 | ```
 8 | 
 9 | Make sure you have the `cvlc` library installed on your preffered os, some examples:   
10 | **Fedora**
11 | ```bash
12 | $ dnf install cvlc
13 | ```
14 | 
15 | **Ubuntu**
16 | ```bash
17 | $ apt-get install cvlc
18 | ```
19 | 
20 | ##Usage
21 | When installed globally just do:
22 | ```
23 | $ chromecast-unix-audio # Stream started at: http://0.0.0.0:xxxx/pc.mp3 
24 | ```
25 | And it will automagically send it to a founded chromecast.  
26 | 
27 | ##Cons
28 | There is a delay of about 10 seconds.
