    Btw, is there any casting device/service available that’s not spyware (i.e. AppleTV/Chromecast)?

      If you’re just going to stream video like this you could use any linux hdmi/wifi capable device connected to your TV. If you want to up that with popular streaming services you throw in a remote controlled browser on the device… which is what I believe a chromecast does under the hood.

      Miracast on Sonys and Huaweis. My Huawei can screencast to more or less any smart TV minus Apple TVs. We have many Sony TVs and all work with my phone, unlike Samsung’s buggy Smart cast that does not know how to cast the correct screen orientation.
