The transcoding isn't actually too bad. You basically just need ffmpeg compiled from source on your box, and you can use https://github.com/fluent-ffmpeg/node-fluent-ffmpeg . You just need to transcode everything go h264 / AAC (so make sure you compile with libfdk_aac ). The thing I have been unable to figure out so far is how to start streaming to chromecast before the transcoding is complete. It will play to the point it was transcoded when I started playing, regardless of how far it has gotten since then. I have tried transcoding to HLS which chromecast supports, but have not been able to figure it out. Are you planning on develping this open source? I didn't see a github for the actual project on first glance.
