If make fails, try running sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. To do this run the following two commands on the Raspberry Pi.

#Stremio raspberry pi code#

Thanks to the make software, compiling the code is a very simple and straightforward process.

Compiling will give us the files we need to run the OpenMax Image Viewer software for our Raspberry Pi Chromecast device. cd ~/omxivħ. Now that we are in the right directory we need to initialize the compiling process now. To start off, we must first change into the directory where we cloned our code, do this by running the following command on our Raspberry Pi. Note: If for some reason Raspbian fails to find the packages, try running sudo apt-get update.Ħ. We can now finally proceed on to the steps to compiling and installing OpenMax Image viewer to our Raspberry Pi Chromecast device.

#Stremio raspberry pi install#

sudo apt install libjpeg8-dev libpng12-dev Let’s download and install these packages to our Raspberry Pi by running the following command. These packages contain development libraries for the PNG format and the JPEG format, both which are required to compile the code. These two packages that we need are libjpeg8-dev and libpng12-dev. cd ~ĥ. With the OpenMax Image viewers code now cloned to our Raspberry Pi, we must now install a couple more packages. Just run the following two commands on your Raspberry Pi to clone this repository to your Raspberry Pi. To begin the process of setting up OpenMax Image Viewer, we must first clone its code repository from Github. OpenMax Image Viewer is a must for this project as it is a GPU accelerated image viewer explicitly designed for the Raspberry Pi’s GPU, meaning we can display any images as fast as possible and reduce the load on the Raspberry Pi’s CPU. While we now have a piece of software ready that can handle our video and audio files we still need something that can handle images.įor the task of handling images on our Raspberry Pi Chromecast, we will be installing a piece of software that is called OpenMax Image Viewer. sudo apt-get install omxplayer -yĤ. With OMXPlayer now installed to our Raspberry Pi, we need to move onto setting up the next piece of the pie. Run the following command to install OMXPlayer on to your Pi. One advantage of OMXPlayer to other video and audio players is that it was designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi’s GPU meaning it offers some of the best performance, something that is critical for any files that are cast. The reason we need OMXPlayer is so that it can handle video and audio processing for any video or audio files that we cast to our Raspberry Pi Chromecast.

sudo apt install git make -yģ. With our Raspberry Pi now up to date, we need first to make sure we have OMXPlayer installed, while Raspbian usually comes with this installed we will make sure it exists anyway. To ensure this is installed just run the following command on the Raspberry Pi. While these packages should be pre-installed on Raspbian, we will run the command below just to make sure they are. sudo apt updateĢ. For this tutorial, we will require to use GIT and Make. We can update our Raspberry Pi by running the following two commands on it. Setting up Raspbian to Operate as a Chromecastġ. Now before we get started with setting up our Raspberry Pi as a Chromecast-like device, we must first ensure that our Raspberry Pi is actually up to date and that we have the latest package list. Equipment Listīelow are all the pieces of equipment that we made use of for this Raspberry Pi Chromecast tutorial.

There are some functionalities that the Raspicast software can’t do but Chromecast can. While this setup does have a lot of similarities to Chromecast it’s important to remember that it isn’t Chromecast. This application is what we will utilize to cast videos, songs, and images to the Raspberry Pi.

Lastly, we rely on an Android application called Raspicast. We utilize this piece of software to handle images sent to the device. Our second piece of software is the OpenMax, Image viewer. This software handles the video and audio files that are cast to our Raspberry Pi. The first of these pieces of software is omxplayer. We replicate its behavior by using two key pieces of software on the Raspberry Pi. While we can’t implement the same protocol that Chromecast relies on we can replicate this on the Raspberry Pi.
