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.
The new Chromecast TV bullshit makes it a bit more complicated, but the article also says that Google is making changes.
I agree with you though, I have used a Chromecast as my main way to get stuff on my TV for years and years. I don’t want them to complicate it or make me sign in to it, etc.

That’s literally what a chromecast is.
I have multiple generations of them, and casting a YouTube video is 2 clicks.
Done.

A cheap PC with a wireless keyboard and track pad.
Yeah that’s what I may have to do, but casting from my phone is so nice. And anyone on my wifi can do it
