Hello:

I'm not a programmer, though I did try to learn but I do use things like KODI. Anyway I have tried to cast Kodi to my Chrome device and it's a pain. I have looked for info on how to do it in the Internet but what I find require me to install on my device third party junk that mess with my equipment and force me to erase everything so I can get rid of the junk that came with the advice.

So, other apps, like Netflix, allow me to cast to my TV from my cell and allow me to turn off my screen while watching my shows. I don't see why Kodi can't do the same.

Is there a way to use Kodi to cast what I'm watching that does not require me to download dangerous third party junk?

Thank you.
It depends a little on what device and OS you are running Kodi on.

The most usual method is to use a suitable app as an external player (wiki) and cast Kodi via that.

Kodi isn't really designed for casting, more for devices directly connected via HDMI.
