From here, you need to generate +a RSA private key and create a self signed certificate with that key. + +From there, after building Open Screen the `cast_sender` and `cast_receiver` +executables should be ready to use: +``` + $ /path/to/out/Default/cast_sender -s <certificate> <path/to/video> + ... + $ /path/to/out/Default/cast_receiver <interface> -p <private_key> -s <certificate> +``` + +When running on Mac OS X, also pass the `-x` flag to the cast receiver to +disable DNS-SD/mDNS, since Open Screen does not currently integrate with +Bonjour. + +When connecting to a receiver that's not running on the loopback interface +(typically `lo` or `lo0`), pass the `-r <receiver IP endpoint>` flag to the +`cast_sender` binary. + +An archive containing test running scripts, a video, and a generated RSA +key and certificate is available from google storage. Note that it may require +modification to work on your specific work environment: + +https://storage.googleapis.com/openscreen_standalone/cast_streaming_demo.tar.gz |
