Cast All The Things allows you to send videos from many, many online sources to your Chromecast.
Navidrome is absolutely brilliant. It works very well for accessing my library; the configuration options (env vars) also give me loads of customizability.
P.S. a well-known secret is Supersonic[0]. It's an excellent cross-platform Subsonic client (which works with Navidrome!). It's not Electron-based, either. Much like Navidrome, I've had absolutely no issues with it. Love it.

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.
