I’m not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

    This is a somewhat hacky solution, but I’ve set up a thing in the past, where I would share a URL to my desktop via KDE Connect. And then on my desktop, I configured the default browser to be a script that I wrote.
    This script would check, if the URL is a YouTube URL, and if so then open it via MPV (with yt-dlp also installed on the system).
    If not, then just open it in Firefox as normal.
