Is there a Chromecast equivalent? (programming.dev)

I'm not looking for Chromecast but I have a Linux system hooked up to a TV and ether net. I want a way to pick a YouTube or Amazon prime or Netflix video on my phone and display it on the TV via the Linux pc. Is that possible? If so what software can do it?

I'm hoping to do this as minimal as possible as the "Linux pc" is just an old raspberry pi.

Did you find something that fits this on your own? I'd live to know.

Closest I could find was kconnect. Basically it let's you use your phone as a mouse. What I wanted was basically a program that I select video on my phone, it sends signal to TV with video I selected and the TV plays it. I was not able to find anything like that but with kconnect you can control the mouse to select to video you want on your TV.
