Alternative to chromecast? (mander.xyz)

I'm looking for a wireless HDMI cable essentially, as that's the only way I use my chromecast. So I don't care about it running android or apps.

Anyone got ideas or suggestions?

They make wireless hdmi adapters to just stream from one device to a display.

What are you trying to send and receive on?

This might work for kodi

TubeCast is not a full Chromecast implementation nor will it ever be. It only supports the first revision of the Cast protocol and will only keep working while Google keeps backwards compatibility with the Cast V1 protocol in their youtube mobile applications (at least for service discovery).

This disclaimer doesn't sound too confident, but if it works for op, then it should be good in the meantime.

Literally a wireless HDMI? What's the source you're thinking of?

De-Google (Coke)

Is Microsoft (Pepsi) ok?

I don't know if they still sell it but I have a Miracast hdmi dongle. (Wireless display adapter)

You can look for a tv box that can run libre elec or core elec (Linux distros) through a mounted sd card

Raspberry Pi with Plex?

For casting?

That's the Plex app casting to a Chromecast

You are right. My bad

I like the Roku. They do other things too, but the casting seems to work well.

Roku is a privacy nightmare now.
