I think it should be possible to do this with the browser and the Chromecast protocol, since my understanding is "play a video from this URL" is the core of the protocol. Someone could build a website following https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/chrome_sender/integrate https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/chrome_sender/integr... where you paste the URL of a video and are given the option to "cast" it to the TV.
This would be some work, but only one person would need to do it and then anyone could "cast" a URL.

- rahimnathwani 7y agoRight, someone already built it :) https://chromecast.link/ https://chromecast.link/
- bruckie 7y agoIt looks like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rabidgremlin.web2cast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rabidgreml... may be the equivalent in Android app form.
- rahimnathwani 7y agoDoes it work with videos? The product description mentions HTML and static image formats. Neither the description nor any of the reviews mention videos. I guess I could just spend 99 cents and 2 minutes to find out...
