Chromecast actually mostly sends a link to a google device and then launches it on the device to play; there isnt a direct replacement to that.

I’m aware of one project called ScreenInvader but it’s unmaintained since about a decade. It offered a web UI where you could paste a URL from any device:

As you can see the UI was clunky and I guess it’s part of the reasons why it died. Too bad, I like the concept of having a jukebox at a party where people can just contribute to without installing anything, let alone sign up for an account.

I recently installed Slowroll in Steam Deck’s Distrobox. First day and yt-dlp was already too outdated.😅

Adding OBS repos got weirdly broken since the last time I did it. Some packages cannot be forked into one’s home repo because they are on openSUSE’s git and zypper ar does not add the repo type to the offline file, so zypper ref complains about an unknown repo.

In the end I found some other repo containing a recent version of yt-dlp that I could fork into my home repo and edit the file in /etc/zypp/repos.d by hand. I assume this is transition pain during the move from OBS to git. I hope they’ll get this done soon.
