Is it possible to build a Chromecast device with a Raspberry Pi?

I would like to experiment a bit with the protocol, so I'm curious if any open-source alternatives have been made yet.

I think this question would be better suited for the raspberry pi subreddit r/raspberry_pi

They'll be able to give you more in depth answers and maybe some alternatives you could try

Well at least it would be 'not yet possible'. Things get reverse engineered all the time.

All chromecast devices are signed with google certificates witch is verified every time you cast. I think someone will create analog software than rpi will support casting.

Security measures can be broken. Anyway, I appreciate the lenghtier reason explaining why it would be hard ;)
