I'm in the process of degoogling and I'm stuck trying to find a reasonable alternative to Chromecast. It would be great if I could stream music/video from my phone to my TV from apps like RiMusic, Tidal, and NewPipe. Are there any good solutions? Even better if friends and family can use it with minimal additional setup.

Have been keeping an eye on https://fcast.org/ but haven't gotten involved yet.

Yesss fcast looks incredibly promising. Sadly the only app implementing it seems to be GrayJay, I really hope it will catch on more.

Since no proprietary streaming service will ever implement this, I wish Jellyfin & PeerTube did.

I'm also hopeful fcast gets some more love. The ability to mirror my whole android screen to an fcast server would be great they have servers for Mac, Linux, Windows, and Android but not a lot of clients.

Grayjay integration works well I use it instead of casting.

This looks exactly like what I'm looking for!

Oh neat. Hope it works for your needs. Let us know how it goes.

Macast is pretty cool too. Think it uses upnp or something.
