If you’re up for using Jellyfin, you can check out something I’m working on to achieve this: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook

The main branch used to be compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast. Working with Chromecasts were a huge pain.

Let me know if you have any questions about it, always glad to help!

You can check out something I made to help me grab and organize things like this, can help with artwork too if you find a good thumbnail:

I’ve just added images and more descriptions about each page of the web application in the GitHub readme. It should provide a nice overview now!

I made a service for this a while back:

However, development of it has stopped in favor of v2, where I drop Chromecast support and instead focused on making a companion player service running on an htpc or rPi.

Let me know if you have any questions, I can try to help!
