Send video to Chromecast through Airplay via Home Assistant (lemmy.world)

I have a Samsung TV, a Google Chromecast and an iPhone. I want to watch a movie on Apple TV+ on my TV, but my Chromecast doesn't support Airplay, and Apple TV+ doesn't support Google Cast. My Samsung TV supports Airplay, but I don't want it on the internet at all.

Is there a way to connect via Airplay to Home Assistant, and redirect the data to the Chromecast (Home Assistant is like a middleman)?

EDIT: This is a chromecast without any app support (ie: no Google TV).

Have a quick check and see if Apple has made an AppleTV app available for your TV. I have an 2012 LG TV and found an AppleTV app in its store. I can now Airplay direct to the TV.

If not checkout something like the DoCast app in the iOS AppStore. I think it may stream to Chromecast for you.
