[Feature] streaming to chromecast

[aisbergde]

The feature

shared albums, adding assets from these albums to private collections, streaming assets or albums from Android via Chromecast to a TV - this is how we use Google Photos in our family. It would be great to do this with immich to allow to switch all family members from Google Photos to immich.

This is not a duplicate of #1614
I already asked to reopen #2575, but a new request seams to be easier to create.

Yes please. An android tv app requires an app for each device. Many devices are already Chromecast enabled. This would allow sharing photos on anyone's tv when visiting other friends or family.

This is my use case too. I want to share pictures with family who own chromecasts. My immich is not accessible without VPN so the android TV app is just not a good solution, too many hoops to jump through and then undo just to put an image on a big screen.

Dont forget about the apple users ;)
Apple TV, FireTV, and all the other more or less well-known streaming/casting devices.

With Apple, Google and Amazon backing Matter, there is hope that Matter Casting will become a thing one day in order to have one common standard for casting to a TV via mobile device.

Now that Immich is a part of FUTO, adding FUTO's FCast integration would also be great - integrating with an open standard-based casting solution.

This is a start.
Works with chrome and casting publicly accessible assets (i.e. share without password)
