Never could get Kodi to work for me. Guess I’ll try out the jellyfin one, thanks for the suggestion. But also, if this is possible, why can’t I figure out an easy way to just cast from my phone to my desktop?
From what I can gather, the little cast button is implemented via a google-specific api, and in the interest of DRM, all apps and OSes that show it will only cast content to specific “blessed” devices that are locked down.
If I could run a program on my PC that behaved identically to a Chromecast as far as my and my guests phones are concerned, I would be sooooo happy. Because then I can put that on a raspi and hook it to my TV without having google MITM everything I do.
