Is there any open source chrome cast? I know of one project but it required a special server as well. I just want to plug something into my HDMI port so I can cast dumb YouTube videos, why does it have to be this hard.
You can install LineageOS on one of the models of Chromecast for Android TV.
This looks great. My Chromecast just died so I replaced it with a Google TV Chromecast thing, so I don't have the bootloader exploit. Gonna look at the "unofficial" exploits they mention soon.
Does lineage let you cast to it through?
I do not know.
Yes, but that has its limitations to my knowledge. One of them is streams will be at a lower 720p. To tinker around it will work, but it will not be a fire and forget solution
