I’m looking for a wireless HDMI cable essentially, as that’s the only way I use my chromecast. So I don’t care about it running android or apps.

Anyone got ideas or suggestions?

I don’t have an answer but I am piggybacking off your question:

Is it possible to flash another OS on the last gen Chromecast? Considering what’s happening to the gen 2, I don’t see a very bright future for my Chromecast.

I’m using macast. no recent development but works fine for what I need it (play full-screen video with mpv when sent from mobile device). on the phone you need allcast or similar app that you share the e.g. youtube video to.

You can look for a tv box that can run libre elec or core elec (Linux distros) through a mounted sd card
