We are really happy that #CastLab reached the official #FDroid repo. This was not so easy for us, but thanks to the help of two volunteers, they made it possible. So a big thank you to them.

#CastLab has been submitted to #FDroid

For #CastLab we plan a Google version that will also support Chromecasts.
But if we do that, we will make this version a paid one to support our work. We also plan to publish it on AppStore with the AirPlay support.
We thought about a one time payment around 3$.
What do you think about that?

The app is currently available on our #FDroid repo but soon in the official repo.

APK also attached to: https://codeberg.org/tom79/CastLab/releases/tag/1.0.5

#CastLab will have a compact Player Controller when scrolling media to give more visibility. Also, we added an autoplay feature to cast the list of filtered pictures.The duration can be set between 1 to 30s (default: 5s).
For videos/audios, it will play the next one, immediately after ending.

While this account is mainly dedicated to #Fedilab, we also build some other apps.
Currently, we are working on an app called #CastLab. We made great improvements on it. This app can be run on Android or iOS

The goal of this app is to easily cast media from your device to TV or devices supporting apps such Kodi.

CastLab will be published only on #FDroid and no Google services will be involved such a Chromecast support.

#CastLab 1.0.3 has been published.

- Display a notification when the app is in the background to manage actions such Play/Pause and Stop.

- Media can now be filtered by date ranges, to easily retrieve them from an event (holidays, birthday, etc.)

- Player Controller has been improved to change the volume or mute/unmute. It also has a Stop button.
