I have my Linux box running my TV and it works great, but I’d like the ability to treat my Chromecast as a desktop window for streaming without switching inputs, multitasking etc. I have an HDMI capture card that works great with a Switch, but the Chromecast detects it’s not HDCP (DRM) compliant so it won’t work. Is there a way to outsmart that detection with software or hardware?
I’ve heard some knock off hardware confuses it enough to work but it seems like the info is old and I’d rather not roll the dice on hardware that’s otherwise garbage…
The whole DRM thing just feels stupid, because it’s mostly used to prevent people from sharing movies online, but people who share movies online are generally not tech illiterate, so the only peope who end up being affected by it are normal every day people like OP.
Pretty much same for gaming. DRM tends to mess with your game, framerate even. People who pirate don’t have that problem.
