It's a CLI that lets you select a movie, finds a matching stream from streaming websites, transcodes it, burns in subtitles in real time, and tells your TV to play it.
Lol. I wonder how that will hold up in court. "Your Honor, Castor is not designed for piracy" "Then why did the last version automatically access three pirate sites?"

What kind of streaming websites? Like, Netflix? Amazon Prime?
Do I need to bring my own sources or is there a maintained list?
You mean the streaming website source ? You can use the one present in the config.yaml of the project, it works fine.
it comes preconfigured with three different illegal pirate sites.
Looks like they removed now, and changed some language in Readme: https://github.com/stupside/castor/commit/692b2f18b8f6e99c32...

I am not sure how this would help with piracy? It can only play a stream you already have access to, it doesn’t break encryption or anything.
The default config has a bunch of such sources: https://github.com/stupside/castor/blob/main/config.yaml
sources: - proxies: - "https://vidsrc-embed.ru" templates: movie: "/embed/movie/{itemID}" episode: "/embed/tv/{itemID}/{season}-{episode}"
You already have access to pirated streams. This app plays them for you. Check the source addresses in config.yaml.
It's an alternative way to cast media to your TV by way of somehow ripping the streaming video off said website or service.
I agree, is the use case any video stream other than big established ( which already support casting)... So... bootleg sports streams?
It casts whatever stream's on the page, same as VLC plays whatever file you open.
