FOSS Alternative to Chromecast? (lemmy.world)

I'm in the process of degoogling and I'm stuck trying to find a reasonable alternative to Chromecast. It would be great if I could stream music/video from my phone to my TV from apps like RiMusic, Tidal, and NewPipe. Are there any good solutions? Even better if friends and family can use it with minimal additional setup.

Or use Miracast, AKA WiDi, Smart View, SmartShare if you just want to mirror a screen.

Miracast is not the same thing as WiDi and anyway it's just another bunch of competing proprietary protocols except for screen casting instead of streaming.

intel's WiDi software supported Miracast, which is a standard.

They're all "standards", yet no two TVs will work the same (if at all) — even when they're the same make as the phone.
