Why on the new update there is apple airplay and nothing for chromecast for Android? Roku is a Linux based os and should have no issue in having connection with android, I honestly regret buying my Roku express and should have bought something else for the price I paid.
As for Linux, one of the drawbacks of Linux is the difficulty in natively casting or mirroring from the OS. (Especially if you do not use Chrome browser). If I do not need wireless casting, (which the Web Video Caster is used extensively for), I leave longer HDMI cables connected to the TVs that I regularly connect my laptops to. Not really casting, more using in extended monitor mode but can stream/display anything directly to TV. (Roku not even involved in this method).
They even make USB-C to HDMI adapters that you can use for your Android phone to connect to your TV. Really only need Chromecast or any other wireless casting ability if you really need wireless method or prefer it over a wired method.
I don't mind an extra app or some extra clicks/keystrokes to achieve the above, but if Chromecast/Google Cast is important to you, may want to look into the Google Streaming devices or even the Onn Streaming player (Android TV with built-in Chromecast). It is not uncommon for users to have multiple streaming platforms so they can jump between the devices that provide them the features they need in a given situation.
Its possible Roku may add GoogleCast/ChromeCast protocol support at some point via an agreement with Google (after all, they did the same thing with AirPlay 2 years ago...), but with the impending arrival of MATTER protocol support, this may be moot (depends on how well the casting/mirroring works).
Your Android device (brand/model unknown) may or may not have Miracast (mirroring) support (e.g. Most Samsung devices have it via SmartView), and those that dont can/may have it enabled/added via third party apps (e.g. Quick Settings from Simone Sestito - I highly recommend this app if your Android phone lacks built-in Miracast support).
As @AvsGunnar mentioned, some apps will cast to Roku using DIAL (casting), AirPlay (casting/mirroring) or PlayOnRoku (casting), but not all apps support those protocols (you'll simply need to check each app by selecting the Cast icon and checking the available device list).
Otherwise, if you absolutely need GoogleCast/ChromeCast support, as @AvsGunnar suggested you might consider getting a $20 ONN (Walmart) 4K Streaming Box - its a very capable streamer, and like all Android TV devices, has built-in ChromeCast support.
There are other (Android) apps (e.g. YouTube TV) that support DIAL or PlayOnRoku, though they are scarce/minor (some apps that previously supported DIAL absurdly removed the DIAL support and replaced it with GoogleCast/ChromeCast support).
Note that most (all?) such adapters require your USB port to support MHL. When I researched this I found a site confirming that my less-than-top-of-the-line Galaxy A42 5G phone does support MHL. Only after purchasing a USB-C to HDMI adapter for a particular project requiring an HDMI connection to a projector did I discover that the site was in error and my phone does not.
I remember when I was initially purchasing these adapters for my phones that they weren't really "universal", and had to read through reviews to make sure they worked with my devices. I tend to have good luck with the Insignia connectors/adapters for various devices (kind of have to look on their site or the Best Buy site for info though since very little info on the packaging itself.)
Regarding the main topic of the thread, other than the original Chromecast dongles I don't think I've ever seen a video streaming device with Chromecast receiver functionality that isn't running official Android TV OS. For example streaming sticks running Amazon Fire TV OS don't have Chromecast receiver functionality event though Fire TV OS its a fork of regular Android. It makes me wonder that perhaps Google require video streaming devices manufacturers to use Android TV OS if they want to act as Chromecast receivers.
Yes, you can run both apps but quality is limited to 540p.
If you boot LibreELEC Kodi Linux OS, images I made, you can run the Netflix addon in 1080p quality with auto frame-rate switching for smooth playback.
Best is to get the EcoPi case with the big heatsink for this since it will use CPU decoding for this higher quality.
In Android you can also play 4K videos you download or streams from Youtube or IPTV services hardware decoded smoothly.
A FireTV stick could be an option But having an all in one solution would be nicer Can you do me a favour and tell me what widevine version rock pi has on android/android tv? On my ODroid C2 I have L3. When I understand it right, that means only SD is possible, but that would be sufficient for me. As I have no 4k screen.
Ok then it could be an option. I thought my stuff is running in 720p on ODroid. As I assume, it should then also run in 720p on rockpi? Or do I miss something? An upgrade to rockpi would be interesting as it supports newer android versions.
