go-chromecast VS fff

VLC is good for radio streams...but you must use http not https URLs (otherwise it doesn't display tags)

go-chromecast for watching Youtube without commercials. Also for casting video files

Built-in Screensaver is nice...

Spotify is great on big screen when TV is connected to decent stereo. My favourite way to listen to music recently..

Sometimes I watch Bloomberg using its app.

I generally keep Google TV in "Apps only" mode... Down to bare minimum.

I checked out its dependancy, Go-Chromecast, and actually installed it.

i'm using this https://github.com/vishen/go-chromecast

Google Chromecast CLI

I don't understand that either. My bedtime routine sets the volume on all of my speakers, and that used to mean an awkward ten second silence while I wonder if it's actually working. I ended up writing some code to set the volume using go-chromecast instead. Now they all make that little volume pop sound almost simultaneously, which is very satisfying.

You might be interested in go-chromecast, it can handle playlists natively eg go-chromecast playlist ~/playlist_test/. Its actively developed, has a really handy tui, and there is a git package in the aur. After trying probably every client its by far my fav.

As something of an old-timer here, there's some amusement, but mostly appreciation that people are discovering that these very old ways of doing things have a lot of potential (and a lot of untapped ideas)

Somewhat relatedly, recently I discovered the colorfully named fff. It's a solid file manager, but what I've used it for is a terminal based filespace navigator (by adding a function that just leaves you in the place you navigated to).

It's funny how it's hard to break the habit of "cd" to move around, despite this being way faster, especially if you're not sure where you're going.

Hi. fff, lf, clifm Won't say they're best or not, rather interesting and maybe worth looking at. Looked up for the z in termux's repos and it's called "zoxide" there.

According the git repo for fff there are several keybindings (maybe this is a bad design, idk) see https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff

Did you check fff?

Yes, there are many. One popular one is [ranger](https://github.com/ranger/ranger). Another, more minimal example is [fff](https://github.com/dylanaraps/fff).
