show-struct VS go-chromecast

Of many JSON linters, formatters, I have not see one that provides a quick, human readable map/structure of your JSON data except show-struct .

Some hint on flattening JSON tree here: https://til.simonwillison.net/jq/flatten-nested-json-objects-jq Of course, you could use the hierarchical format if you are comfortable navigating it in jq. This is a tool to dump the structure of json files as seen by jq. Use python not python3 to run. https://github.com/ilyash/show-struct tree and cat-cli structure is similar but uses different names for some of the fields. cat-cli database includes an md5 hash, tree's does not.

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.
