Caster

Very WIP! Not ready for release. Expect many bugs. Please don't sign builds on AMO with current ID.

Supported platforms

• Linux
• macOS (TODO)
• Windows (TODO)

Only tested on Linux. mDNS library issue to be fixed. mdns only works on Windows, mdns-js only works on Linux.

Building

Requirements

• NodeJS
• node binary in path
• Bonjour SDK (Windows)

git clone https://github.com/hensm/caster.git
npm install ./ext --prefix ./ext
npm install ./app --prefix ./app
npm run build --prefix ./ext

Installer scripts aren't written yet, so registering the native messaging manifest with Firefox and specifiying the path must be done manually:
MDN: Native Manifests

path key within app/caster_bridge.json must be set to absolute path of app/src/launcher.sh or app/src/launcher.bat. Then, the manifest must be either moved to the correct location or the path added to the registry (Windows):
MDN: Native Manifests # Manifest location

Extension can be loaded from about:debugging as a temporary extension.
