Yes, that's what I meant, but I worded the question incorrectly
To answer the casting question, the Google cast API used to introduce a lot of breaking changes so many 3rd party apps had a lot of instant over the years.
You could build something yourself using Google SDKs or try to update an older framework that might be abandoned. Raspicast looks fairly recent but I think it's just the android app and it uses a deprecated RPi OS. RaspberryCast hasn't been updated since 2018.
It looks ripe for the development of you've got the time and dev chops, otherwise it's going to be super hacky and unreliable at best.
