Check out the open casting protocol FCast by FUTO. See https://gitlab.com/futo-org/fcast or https://fcast.org/

It is a very simple protocol with several different clients (including terminal clients) and receivers based on Electron and Android.

Also available on Firestick TV, Playstore, Android TV.

Future support for AppleTV, WebOS, TizenOS is coming.

Problem is that this needs clients to catch on. The likes of Netflix and YouTube need to add support. But I highly doubt YouTube will care.

Regardless, I'm glad this exists. Hopefully in the future it becomes more prevalent.

Do I need to open the app for my Firestick to receive or can it run in background?
