Currently, when casting to an Android TV, it seems that Jellyfin resorts to having the TV act as a web cast receiver. The new Cast Connect SDK allows Android TVs to act as a native app receiver, so casting to it launches the Jellyfin app itself. In other words, casting almost behaves as a "deep link" into the native Jellyfin application itself.
YouTube would be a good example of an application that supports being a native Android TV receiver.
Understandably, this is a pretty large project. I've only ever seen applications implement this, but I don't know how painful or complex this would be.

Although I'm not against adding this. Right now it won't be trivial. We don't want proprietary libraries in the app and as far as I'm aware there is no open-source implementation of the cast SDK. Just the Google provided one that relies on Google Play services.
