My goal is to stream different content (YT videos, MP4 files, music, etc) as seamlessly as possible, without any physical input or remoting into it. Ideally, I would want to straight up cast stuff from other devices (PC, tablet, mobile) and it should "just work", switching to the necessary app/interface.
As far as audio is concerned, using Spotify Connect through Volumio seems like the way to go, haven't tried it yet though.
On the video side, I figured I could leverage casting from YouTube using the Chromecast (DIAL?) protocol. This however has proven to be a nightmare. I can't find any reliable way of doing it. Everything I find is either outdated, extremely finicky, not-really-the-thing-I'm-looking-for, or just doesn't work. And I've tried:
- https://github.com/Spajker7/PiYouTube
- https://github.com/vincelwt/RaspberryCast
- https://github.com/lanceseidman/PiCAST
- https://github.com/DevonLian/PYCASTER
- https://github.com/MayaPosch/NymphCast
Is anybody doing something like this? What are some good projects I can look into? Is there a more straightforward way of doing it? Thanks!
