| # //media/cast |
| |
| This directory contains a collection of components related to streaming using |
| the Cast Streaming Protocol (over UDP network sockets). They encode/decode raw |
| audio or video frames, and send/receive encoded data reliably over a local area |
| network. |
| |
| The Chromium project uses libcast, which is part of the |
| [Open Screen](https://chromium.googlesource.com/openscreen/) project, for |
| handling Cast Streaming. This implementation sits essentially as a translation |
| layer on top of libcast, providing things like encoders (which libcast, very |
| intentionally, tries to not be aware of) and Cast objects that are (hopefully) |
| easy to reason with. |
| |
| The majority of the documentation for Cast Streaming can be found in libcast's |
| [documents folder](https://chromium.googlesource.com/openscreen/+/HEAD/cast/docs/). |

| ## Directory Breakdown |
| |
| * common/ - Collection of shared utility code and constants. |
| |
| * encoding/ - Audio and video encoders and supporting classes. |
| |
| * logging/ - Packet/Frame logging, for study/experimentation of the protocol at |
| runtime. |
| |
| * openscreen/ - classes and free functions for interfacing with libcast, the |
| Cast Streaming implementation. |
| |
| * sender/ - Frame level senders and supporting classes. |
| |
| * test/ - Contains fakes, mocks, and other test utility code. |
