#Chromecast Unix Audio Uses cvlc to create an http stream of your local audio and sends it to the chromecast.

##Installation

$ (sudo) npm install -g chromecast-unix-audio

Make sure you have the cvlc library installed on your preffered os, some examples: Fedora

$ dnf install cvlc

Ubuntu

$ apt-get install cvlc

##Usage When installed globally just do:

$ chromecast-unix-audio # Stream started at: http://0.0.0.0:xxxx/pc.mp3 

And it will automagically send it to a founded chromecast.

##Cons There is a delay of about 10 seconds.
