Gnomecast is a native Linux GTK GUI application for casting local audio and video files to Chromecast devices. It uses ffmpeg for on-the-fly transcoding when needed and supports subtitles, surround sound, queuing, and 4K playback on Chromecast Ultra.
Use cases
- cast local video files from Linux to a Chromecast
- play MKV files on Chromecast with subtitles
- stream 4K videos to a Chromecast Ultra
- cast local media without uploading to the cloud
- transcode unsupported video formats on the fly while casting
- queue multiple local files for playback on a TV
When to avoid
- you need to cast from Windows or macOS
- you want to cast streaming services or browser tabs rather than local files
- you need a multi-user media server with library management
