So what is happening is express didn't get installed. Please use NPM to do an install of express.

Kurainu commented 7 years ago

@DevonLian So the Problem is When try to stream a youtube video it says streaming youtube video but nothing happens. and look at my first post. but i have installed the express module

PiCAST uses livestreamer to stream videos. However, livestreamer is not developped anymore it seems. There's a fork of it : streamlink.

Youtube often changes it settings, thus making unupdated tools to fail to fetch its videos.

1). Try using the command line to launch a youtube video using livestreamer livestreamer URL

And give us the output. It always failed for me, telling me that "no plugin was able to handle that url"

@theonlyShiro I've experimented the same issue on my Raspberry Pi. Few infos :

It's probably due to vlc crashing as you're launching it from a shell with no display informations. To confirm it, try to launch vlc from your shell : vlc Then maybe try another player
It might be an issue on ARM architectures Livestreamer - Issues and I managed to stream your video on my linux laptop.
Livestreamer isn't maintained See this Thread. Streamlink is the maintained version of it
However Streamlink nor Livestreamer will support most of Youtube videos/music, producing this error : error: This plugin does not support protected videos, try youtube-dl instead

So i'd recommend switching from livestreamer/streamlink to youtube-dl. You can do this by modifying the code in picast.js, and replace it to combine youtube-dl and a media player such as omxplayer.

Another streaming solution here : https://github.com/DevonLian/PYCASTER

It's my version of @lanceseidman PiCAST, i fixed livestreamer's issues and improved the GUI.
