Cast audio
Feature description
Add functionality to cast music to devices like smart TVs. I use SmartTube on my smartTV so that could grab the YouTube music link without needing a YouTube music account.
Why do you want this feature?
Required to reach feature parity with standard music streaming apps. I also want to play music on my TV.

@Jak2k Do you have some resources for that? Also, I don't have such device so I couldn't implement it anyway
In NewPipe it's handeled by the Kore-App:
public static void playWithKore(final Context context, final Uri videoURL) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setPackage(context.getString(R.string.kore_package));
intent.setData(videoURL);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
}
You can download Kodi on: https://kodi.tv/download It even runs on Windows.
@Jak2k That's not casting. It just forwards the casting problem to a third party app. Moreover, it requires a video url, which I don't necessarily have as the playback often relies on the cache (i.e. private disk files).
I use AirMusic app to play from my Android to my Apple HomePod. Maybe it'll work to play on your TV.
There is a MicroG version of the API

I'm leaving here other resources I found for general purpose casting (google cast excluded).

I would personally be against implementing anything that has to do with MicroG. It's a niche thing that has a lot of issues. One thing I love about this app is that it doesn't try to implement every little thing that people want, and as a result, the app is simple, clean and effective.
microG or third party libraries won't be used. If it can be done using the android sdk, I'm not personally against it
That said, I have zero knowledge in this field and I never used it once in my life, so I will implement it only if it requires zero effort
