Shameless threadjack: does anyone know a way to cast _to_ a linux or windows desktop? We use chromecast on all our entertainment video monitors, but sometimes I would like to hang on the couch in my office and cast a video to my desktop monitor.

Maybe scrcpy is enough for you.

If opening a browser tab is all you need any tab syncing app / service will do. I use kdeconnect / gsconnect so I don't have to rely on a 3rd party service, Google and Mozilla included.

Ah this is a good idea, I hadn't thought of approaching it that way. Having basic pause/back/forward media controls would also be nice, but they should work if the browser location gets updated right?

Could add a Chromecast on one of the Hdmi ports of the monitor. That's what I do

Yeah I thought about that a few times, but I would have to change inputs, so it wasn't really the experience I had in mind.

Jellyfin mpv shim does this

Jellyfin seems like it might be just the thing, thanks for the tip!

Open the website ?

What I would like to do is flip youtube videos or whatever on my phone and cast to the monitor, which is 6 feet from the couch... an impassable barrier as I'm sure you'll agree.
