You can install LineageOS on one of the models of Chromecast for Android TV.

This looks great. My Chromecast just died so I replaced it with a Google TV Chromecast thing, so I don't have the bootloader exploit. Gonna look at the "unofficial" exploits they mention soon.

Does lineage let you cast to it through?

I do not know.

Yes, but that has its limitations to my knowledge. One of them is streams will be at a lower 720p. To tinker around it will work, but it will not be a fire and forget solution
