I thought for Chromecast the “casting” part is just telling the Chromecast what to play. Do you need your phone on while Chromecast shows content?
You need the phone for any controls issued to the Chromecast like volume, subs, pause, seek, etc… But you don’t strictly need it once the video has started playing, presuming you’re not using any control commands.
I mean, you still need it, the phone has to be on and connected to the same wifi as whatever it’s casting to.
Thanks for the details, seems like that may be why the older Chromecasts are still supported.
