ytcast

ytcast is an application that seems like a cooler way to cast YouTube videos on your smart device. It uses Command Prompt to do basically the exact same thing as the Cast button on any YouTube video. This means that if you're one of those who like to play with the command-line and want to avoid using a browser to cast videos, you'll like this program.

Just like with all other casting procedures out there, you'll have to prepare two devices, the one which will cast, and the one you'll cast to. The YouTube app has to be installed on the target device. Before anything else, make sure you run the -h command to understand what options you've got.

You can add videos to the queue, clear cache, list available devices to cast on, and subsequently select them. Other commands include selecting the most recently used device, showing the program version, and using manual pairing mode for tougher connection situations.

The program does seem to detect all devices, provided you've followed the given steps. It manages to connect successfully and display your desired content. Aside from the cool factor when using it, there's also a sense of simplicity, if, of course, you fancy command-line implementation.

While there might not be an exact guide on how to operate the program, the explained commands, together with whatever expertise you might have, should contribute to a smooth experience. It might be even quicker than the original way envisioned by Google.

ytcast is an application you either like and use, or dislike and avoid. The program does function according to what is advertised, offering quite a number of commands and options.
