castnow picks up wrong IP address about castnow HOT 6 OPEN

Very nice idea :)
If someone has multiple network adapters in the same network as chromecast we would just choose randomly one of them I guess.

Another (possibly simpler) solution, is to bind the webserver to ip 0.0.0.0 which corresponds to all known IP addresses .. Usually bad for security, but in this case, I guess the convenience beats being too pedantic on security .. Guess that would work no?

Chromecast also needs to know your IP since it's fetching the video data from your computer.

Agreed 👍

I use vmware on OSX and castnow is still picking up the VM's interfaces, even though their ip's begin with 172.16 and my real machine's ip is 192.168

Hi there !

It's because internal-ip returns the last ip address instead ot the primary network interface address.

I fixed it with this:
bugdanov/internal-ip@0b9a350

Could not test it on Windows or MacOS
