/**
 * Example configuration for streaming Ledger animations to a Chromecast device
 * 
 * Usage:
 * 1. Make sure you have a Chromecast device on your local network
 * 2. Update the deviceName below to match your Chromecast, or use IP address directly
 * 3. Copy this file to displayconf.js
 * 4. Run: npm run build && npm run start
 * 5. The animation will stream to your Chromecast TV
 * 
 * Tips:
 * - Leave deviceName empty ("") to auto-select first found Chromecast
 * - Use partial name like "Living" to match "Living Room TV"
 * - Use IP address like "192.168.1.217" for direct connection without discovery
