Is there any open source chrome cast? I know of one project but it required a special server as well. I just want to plug something into my HDMI port so I can cast dumb YouTube videos, why does it have to be this hard.

That's literally what a chromecast is.

I have multiple generations of them, and casting a YouTube video is 2 clicks.

  1. Cast button
  2. Pick what device to cast to.

Done.

That's literally what a chromecast is.

Which is why they are asking if there is an open source alternative, now that Google getting rid of the Chromecast

They aren't getting rid of chromecast, the title is clickbait.
