FOSS Alternative to Chromecast? (lemmy.world)

I'm in the process of degoogling and I'm stuck trying to find a reasonable alternative to Chromecast. It would be great if I could stream music/video from my phone to my TV from apps like RiMusic, Tidal, and NewPipe. Are there any good solutions? Even better if friends and family can use it with minimal additional setup.

We'd love to but there are almost zero Android apps that suport DLNA. You can use DLNA for your Jellyfin but if you want to cast from the app of any large streaming service it wants Chromecast (or Apple TV, which is another quagmire).

Does Kore make the Netflix app stream to Kodi?

Even if it does, I can't exactly make everybody who comes by install an app to be able to stream to my TV. Everybody (who's on Wifi) can stream to the Chromecast.

Netflix is fraud too. Use local files
