I just want it to work.The issue (which I assume you already figured out) is that the phone does not actually send the stream to the casting device. All it does is tell the casting device to go retrieve the stream from the server (which is located back at your home). It looks like you first assumed the phone would act as a proxy (middle-man) and just share the stream to the device which is not the case.
If the casting device allows for you to stream the phone's display and audio over to it, then you can "bootleg" stream your videos that way.
Otherwise, the casting client will need to have direct access to your home server either by being added into your Tailscale tailnet, or you figuring out how to set up the reverse proxy.
