Show HN: Kyoo self hosted media browser (jellyfin/plex alternative)
You might want to look into catt for Chromecast:
- https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt/
But I'm not aware of what the equivalent would be for Amazon-type casting
I wrote a wrapper around catt for playing music to my house speaker-groups. It also works with video but I don't use that as often so it might be buggy--better to use catt directly

mass checking files for errors?
There might be other apps that effectively do the above, perhaps even streaming the file so you only need to wait for the first part of a file to transcode before it starts playing. I don't use Amazon devices but with Chromecast you can use catt, VLC, and possibly ffmpeg to do this. For example, you can use catt scan to find the IP address and then do vlc --sout '#chromecast' --sout-chromecast-ip=$ip --demux-filter=demux_chromecast --sub-file=my.srt my.mp4. Maybe something similar exists for Amazon.

Navidrome: Open-Source Software to enjoy your music collection from anywhere
> "Whatever app I use to play music needs to support chromecast audio."
If you can't find something pre-built that fits your specific needs, you could perhaps "quick and dirty" script yourself up something using "Cast All The Things" [catt@github][0] to talk to your ChromeCast devices, and maybe "Beets" [beets@readthdocs][1] to manage play / playlist commands and management of the music library itself, presuming some Python scripting skills on your part, or a willingness / interest in learning said skills.

Show HN: Ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
CATT (which I wrote) does the same, except it supports whatever site youtube-dl supports (which is basically everything):

anyway to "Cast to" Kodi/fire stick like I can on windows??
I have used catt to control a Chromecast. If Kodi can be made to act like a Chromecast it would work, perhaps there's a plugin for that.

Release Radar • February 2024 Edition
The team at Electron have been faithfully shipping new releases almost every single month. I think they had Christmas off 🤔. This popular framework has developers writing cross-platform desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS. The latest update depreciates some process events, and added new modules, APIs, methods, and more. Read into all the changes in the Electron release notes. This month, Electron also introduced a new formal RFC process.

Design Systems with Web Components
So we talked a lot about the Atomic Design Principle, but you could just use that in any system and start creating. You could have Angular components, React Components, and Vue Components. But if you notice these don't easily work Everwhere. So the solution is to use Web Components because the modern browser can already understand these, and any Front-End framework can then utilize these components. You can use Electron for desktop (Slack, VSCode), PWA for both Android and iOS, and across all browsers Can I Use.

How I got Wayland, Vulkan, and hardware acceleration working with Figma on Fedora 39.
I'm noticing a significant boost in performance, crisper text, and better power savings. The only shortcoming is that the window which Figma will run on will lose its shadow. This is due to a technical limitation with frameless windows on Linux.

Building Apps with Tauri and Elixir
For the longest time, building desktop apps was a daunting task to web developers. That is, until technologies like Electron made creating these apps more approachable to a wider audience. Today, we’ve got a wide array of native applications built with solutions like Electron, Tauri, Capacitor, and many more. While these are great solutions, sometimes configuration can be tricky and the applications we create can become somewhat bloated in terms of memory usage.

Capturing at Speed of Thought
Turns out, there is an issue with the electron window not returning focus correctly on mac - https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/5495. The trick to solving is to treat quick capture as a screensaver. When closing, you hide it by setting the opacity to 0 and sending hide: command to the first responder.
