[Feature] Cast Button on UI #492

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It’s not tied to a specific bug, but it would be really helpful to have a Cast (and ideally Share) button directly in the player. Adding casting would make this extension feel complete like a “no-brainer” replacement for other players/tools because it would cover a feature many people rely on. Casting to a TV or another device is a big part of how I watch videos.

A Share button would also be extremely useful too (or maybe it could open a menu with cast, copy url and a share video option), especially on mobile (which is how I use this). Ideally, it could either copy the video URL or try to open the link in a compatible app so sharing is quick and seamless.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add a Cast or Share button to the player UI that lets users cast the current video to a supported TV/device/screen. (+ Ideally Copy URL / Share Video)

Describe alternatives you've considered
As an alternative (or addition), a Share button that allows users to:

  • Copy the video URL, and/or
  • Share/open the URL in another app on mobile

Right now I’m having to juggle two other extensions to accomplish this, which is inconvenient.

Additional context
Some players don’t display a cast feature at all. If this extension added it, it would provide a more consistent experience across sites/players. The extension already adds a lot of features that many players are missing, casting is the only major one I can think of that’s still absent. For me, it would make a noticeable difference since I cast to my TV often.
