    As far as I understand this needs to be implemented into every service individually, so as long as providers like Disney+, AppleTV, etc. If the providers don’t bother, I as an consumer cannot use FCast, right? Or can it act as a drop in replacement for Chromecast?

    Damn nice. This is long overdue. So now it comes down to compatible, small footprint hardware that can use this as time passes on. Looking forward to this

      Miracast is a standard not a implementation.

      I am following NymphCast since the beginning and while it is still promising but beta software at best with limited functionality, by choosing the language ‘AngleScript’ theyhavee shot themself in the foot to.get new devs onboard.

    I don’t see where I would use this as a consumer. I usually cast YouTube to my TV on the odd occasion to my TV that is smart. My other TV that isn’t smart has a Chromecast. Could this implemented in to a raspberry pi or some other style of devices to use with my TV?

      It can cast a file from phone to the desktop or vice versa or to an android TV.

      You can run the receiver on the raspberry pi and then cast to it from your android. I have not been able to find any android sender other than grayjay which can stream videos from YouTube and other platforms.
