Hello everyone! I would like to part ways with my Google Chromecast. Fortunately, I had an extra Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB version) in my drawer, which I used to install LineageOS. Afterwards, I installed F-Droid and a customized launcher to give it a more AndroidTV-like appearance.
Now, I have a couple of questions:
- What can I use as an alternative to Google’s screencasting?
- Is it advisable to enable SSH with root access on the Raspberry Pi?
Thanks!

If there’s any decent alternative to Google Cast, I’d love to know because I’ve never found one. You can use Kodi to receive links to Youtube videos and play them, and spotify hast their own built-in casting, but for everything else I’ve got nothing.
I’m currently working hard on something to fill this void! I’ve made HomeHook v2 as a web app and HomeCast as an mpv interface installed on my HTPC and some Pis I have around the house!
I still need to document the installation procedure but if you’re interested in playing stuff from Jellyfin and YouTube, feel free to send me a message and I’ll see if I can help out!
