If you’re up for using Jellyfin and have satellite devices, you can check out something I’m working on to achieve this: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Homehook

The main branch was compatible with chromecast devices, but I’ve stopped maintaining it in favor of the v2 branch, where HomeHook communicates directly with satellite devices through HomeCast.

Let me know if you have any questions about it, always glad to help!

Definitely the way to go, yt-dlp makes it so easy to automate too!

If you ever decide to move away from Chromecast to something a bit more DIY, I’m almost done making a decent casting replacement! Currently working on default and changing subtitles.

Send me a message if you ever find yourself interested in setting it up!

I’m currently working hard on something to fill this void! I’ve made HomeHook v2 as a web app and HomeCast as an mpv interface installed on my HTPC and some Pis I have around the house!

I still need to document the installation procedure but if you’re interested in playing stuff from Jellyfin and YouTube, feel free to send me a message and I’ll see if I can help out!

I feel like I can’t be the only immature one here…

My NAS is called AY-NAS.

I’ve got a bunch of Rpis named things like DANK-SBC, WONK-SBC and RAW-SBC.

I made a simple budgeting web app: https://github.com/MattMckenzy/Casheesh

My wife and have used it almost every day for the past couple of years to give ourselves and track fun budget money. It’s been working really well!
