ted on what a frelling turd show MatterCast is. Last I checked it was for native apps, and had no means to distribute or find programs, only could work with apps already on the castee. Miserable evil capture-computing shizzle, with zero aspirations to ever allow the just works interoperability that made Cast so amazing. Truly captured device ecosystem, of Official Partners anti-consumer villainy. Vomitously disgusting, makes me feel much worse about Matter in general seeing how wretched that looks.)

g to see some of that world. I cannot for the life of me imagine why Netflix would be trying to stuff the genie back in the bottle now. We're ina user I would be pissed. I almost never touch my TV remote, and turning back the I also want to mention that there is an open standard at the w3c, Open Screen Protocol, that's built by the Second Screen Working Group, to handle these flows in an open specified way. Matter has a Cast spec as well, but seems to only work with native apps that are already installed on devices, where-as DIAL (in many cases), Chromecast, and Open Screen Protocol all have modes where the target TV or speaker or whatnot open a given URL, so they can work with any* app without the 1st screen/tv needing explicit support. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol

Edit: UgreenOS being vanilla Debian + management UI was mentioned in TwoGuyzTech review, https://youtu.be/205rlkyK_QE?si=edzzy7tvUW8hhI0d#t=4m Also the HDMI out makes so much sense. Pity there's not better off the shelf protocol/software solutions. Miracast wouldn't make sense because someone else would have to read from the nas then send the video via Miracast to it. Google/w3c has been forever mucking about with a Open Screen Protocol, which aims to fulfill promises to support more than proprietary Chromecast protocol devices when they added Presentation API back in 2015. https://caniuse.com/mdn-api_presentation It would be a great fit & let existing media apps like Jellyfin or Twitch or Spotify just work. Almost a decade down the road though & it's slowboating through standards committees with one blessed engineer slowly coaxing it along, very frustrating long limbo. https://github.com/w3c/openscreenprotocol . There's a demo/reference repo in Chromium that works, and there's actually been consistent movement recently, by >1 engineer, which I'd dare to say is quite uncharacteristic & possibly even exciting. https://chromium.googlesource.com/openscreen/ Matter just cooked their own competing Cast protocol up, with Amazon's help. Dunno what impls/softwares are available. https://www.theverge.com/2024/1/9/24030324/amazon-matter-cas... The rk3588 mentioned above also has HDMI-In and a 4k120 HEVC video encoder, which is worth noting especially for it's really interesting streaming possibilities; a gratis highly capable stream capture card, sort of.
