Is there an open alternative to Chromecast and similar devices which can be used to stream audio and video to attached HDMI or audio devices?

@ascherbaum I believe there are a few open source implementations of DLNA to allow similar functionality to Chromecast. But I'm not sure if those are ready for primetime prod use cases.

@omripresent Implementations as in: "I can install this on a Raspberry and this (mostly) works"? Or rather just hubby projects?

I have one system here which I can use for playing around.

@ascherbaum I know Jellyfin has a DLNA plugin that can be used, not really a standalone solution and might be too much for RPI. Also not sure how well it plays if running in a container.

@omripresent I would need this 8x here ;-)

Currently 5 audio and 3 video ChromeCast in use ...
