Hello everyone! I would like to part ways with my Google Chromecast. Fortunately, I had an extra Raspberry Pi 4B (4GB version) in my drawer, which I used to install LineageOS. Afterwards, I installed F-Droid and a customized launcher to give it a more AndroidTV-like appearance.

Now, I have a couple of questions:

  1. What can I use as an alternative to Google’s screencasting?
  2. Is it advisable to enable SSH with root access on the Raspberry Pi?

Thanks!

      In that case I’m afraid I don’t know any solution, hopefully you’ll find something that fits your needs. If you needed to cast Youtube-videos and such, I would’ve shared my own bodged method that combines KDE Connect, MPV and a regex-enabled fork of “handlr”.

      If you only want to cast your screen, maybe try thinking more in terms of “KVM” than “Chromecast?”
