Title says it all, I'm looking for something as user-friendly as a chromecast but not made by a company like google. I'm familiar with linux and if some open source software exists that can do this I would love it.

Ideally it would be able to stream things like Netflix and Disney+ using a smartphone. Would be great if it can also play local files from an external hard drive, but I have a raspberry pi with Kodi for that so that's not a hard requirement by any means.

Price range: preferably under €/$/£100 but for something truly excellent it can be a bit more than that.

I'm also interested in this for using stremio from phones and PCs. Chromecast in particular also kinda sucks due to limited codec support.

You can use Stremio on most devices. I have it on my Android TV.
