    They intentionally block casting from your Pixel phone to a TV, unless you use Chromecast. Google is terrible when it comes to casting.

      I have a TV with Android TV and casting stopped working, and found out Google requires signing into the TV with an account now? I didn’t feel like doing that so started using airplay which TV supports too.

    I would think this would be a huge boon for reverse engineers to potentially come up with a self hosted cast compatible interface. Much more opportunity for looking under the hood in this configuration.
