"After Chromecast"? Nah, not ready to just throw out all of my stuff just because Google got bored of Chromecast. If google kills chromecast that tells me it's time yet again to find a replacement non-google service. One by one, they make sure that I don't use their products.

Huh? This is a hardware successor to the 2020 "Chromecast with Google TV". This device will support casting. Casting isn't going anywhere...

It's going to be a bit tough considering that the Chromecast protocol is being used by pretty much every Android app.

I'm not aware of any open source app that can pose as a Chromecast on the network and/or convert the protocol to DLNA, but maybe I haven't searched enough.

I've been starting to use Snapcast. On it's own it's great, but I don't think I can cast from any generic Android app to snapcast, which is the problem. I'm still learning though
