Seems to be missing some context. What is this used for? Piracy?

[xonery]

It's a CLI that lets you select a movie, finds a matching stream from streaming websites, transcodes it, burns in subtitles in real time, and tells your TV to play it.

[rideontime]

What kind of streaming websites? Like, Netflix? Amazon Prime?

[2gremlin181]

Do I need to bring my own sources or is there a maintained list?

[xonery]

You mean the streaming website source ? You can use the one present in the config.yaml of the project, it works fine.

[inigyou]

it comes preconfigured with three different illegal pirate sites.

Looks like they removed now, and changed some language in Readme: https://github.com/stupside/castor/commit/692b2f18b8f6e99c32...

[inigyou]

Lol. I wonder how that will hold up in court. "Your Honor, Castor is not designed for piracy" "Then why did the last version automatically access three pirate sites?"

[cortesoft]

I am not sure how this would help with piracy? It can only play a stream you already have access to, it doesn’t break encryption or anything.

The default config has a bunch of such sources: https://github.com/stupside/castor/blob/main/config.yaml

sources: - proxies: - "https://vidsrc-embed.ru" templates: movie: "/embed/movie/{itemID}" episode: "/embed/tv/{itemID}/{season}-{episode}"

  - proxies:
      - "https://1embed.cc"
      - "https://www.vidking.net"
    templates:
      movie: "/embed/movie/{itemID}"
      episode: "/embed/tv/{itemID}/{season}/{episode}"

  - proxies:
      - "https://www.rivestream.app"
    templates:
      movie: "/embed/torrent?type=movie&id={itemID}"
      episode: "/embed/torrent?type=tv&id={itemID}&season={season}&episode={episode}"

  - proxies:
      - "https://www.rivestream.app"
    templates:
      movie: "/embed?type=movie&id={itemID}"
      episode: "/embed?type=tv&id={itemID}&season={season}&episode={episode}"

You already have access to pirated streams. This app plays them for you. Check the source addresses in config.yaml.

[pogue]

It's an alternative way to cast media to your TV by way of somehow ripping the streaming video off said website or service.

[mikeweiss]

I agree, is the use case any video stream other than big established ( which already support casting)... So... bootleg sports streams?

[xonery]

It casts whatever stream's on the page, same as VLC plays whatever file you open.

[mikeweiss]

But you didn't answer my question
