Comment on FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

Your best bet is to just avoid the need altogether. I use an nvidia shield with clipious, smarttube, and jellyfin. There is a qobuz app that is okay and a USB Media Player Pro that is pretty bad. I haven’t tried any apps for subsonic streaming.

I’d bet there is a tidal app, but I think tidal also integrates with Plex?

For when I want to “cast” a random video file, I use VLC on my PC and on my shield to stream to the TV, and it works well enough.

I haven’t found a good solution to have similar functionality as Google cast for other people to use, but none of my guests have ever been upset that it wasn’t available.
