Hello,

I'm using Pychromecast which seem to use Dashcast. With this, can I display any website on my Chromecast or Nest Hub ? If not, what should I do on the website source to make it compatible ?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I can't find any "clear" doc on this :)

If you use catt (cast all the things) (https://github.com/skorokithakis/catt), it uses dashcast internally, I think, and makes casting a website to a chromecast easy from the commandline. Install with pipx install catt and then just catt -d 192.168.100.1 cast_site http://192.168.100.10/somesite where the first ip address is your chromecast and the second url is any website.
