Show HN: Ytcast – cast YouTube videos to your smart TV from command-line
Chromecast is completely closed-source, I'd argue against buying into that ecosystem.
Nymphcast [1] is an alternative, but wouldn't be compatible with existing clients, since the protocol is different.
Miraclecast [2] is an implementation of miracast/wi-fi display that runs on Linux. There is also a myriad of alternatives: vnc, raspicast, etc.
Leapcast [3] used to be an implementation of what you want (while using chrome as a black box).
There are some implementations of airplay.

You might want to look into catt for Chromecast:
- https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt/
But I'm not aware of what the equivalent would be for Amazon-type casting
I wrote a wrapper around catt for playing music to my house speaker-groups. It also works with video but I don't use that as often so it might be buggy--better to use catt directly

mass checking files for errors?
There might be other apps that effectively do the above, perhaps even streaming the file so you only need to wait for the first part of a file to transcode before it starts playing. I don't use Amazon devices but with Chromecast you can use catt, VLC, and possibly ffmpeg to do this. For example, you can use catt scan to find the IP address and then do vlc --sout '#chromecast' --sout-chromecast-ip=$ip --demux-filter=demux_chromecast --sub-file=my.srt my.mp4. Maybe something similar exists for Amazon.

Navidrome: Open-Source Software to enjoy your music collection from anywhere
> "Whatever app I use to play music needs to support chromecast audio."
If you can't find something pre-built that fits your specific needs, you could perhaps "quick and dirty" script yourself up something using "Cast All The Things" [catt@github][0] to talk to your ChromeCast devices, and maybe "Beets" [beets@readthdocs][1] to manage play / playlist commands and management of the music library itself, presuming some Python scripting skills on your part, or a willingness / interest in learning said skills.

CATT (which I wrote) does the same, except it supports whatever site youtube-dl supports (which is basically everything):

anyway to "Cast to" Kodi/fire stick like I can on windows??
I have used catt to control a Chromecast. If Kodi can be made to act like a Chromecast it would work, perhaps there's a plugin for that.
