Castblock for non android tv
This is only for chromecast, right? I tested it and my tv is not detected I was thinking more of something like this: Its possible to control any YouTube tv player with this https://github.com/MarcoLucidi01/ytcast I was able to cast from cli to PS3 and manta 32lhs79t (thats legacy tv with very basic os) and i assumed that using similar solution (detect with dial, control with longue api) it would be possible to control currently played video for example on PS3, PS5 or LG tv without any additional tv stick. Do you know if such thing exists?

Stream from Ubuntu to Chromecast or Miracast
I need to stream a captured video input from my Ubuntu Kinetic to a smart TV or iPad sink via Chromecast/Miracast or whatever. Can this be done without VLC (not reliable)? Mkchromecast is not working in Kinetic yet, and GNOME Network Displays only casts physical monitors.
