  Cast All The Things allows you to send videos from many, many online sources to your Chromecast.

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

  Connect external monitors to your system via Wifi-Display specification also known as Miracast

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.

  my utility scripts (by MarcoLucidi01)

thank you! the search video functionality is not builtin into ytcast, but is actually a separate script (ytsearch[0]) so you can use it with other tools!

> cast videos saved on the laptop directly.... This would be a welcome addition.

yeah i know this would be great, but unfortunately it's unfeasible with the current implementation. what ytcast does is merely "telling" the YouTube on TV app to play videos.
