Chromecast - Automation to play streaming services (Netflix, HBOMax, DisneyPlus)

Configuration

I have a few Chromecast dongles form 5+ years ago and I can see in home assistant what they are playing. What I am looking for is an automation or script of some sort to tell the chromecast what to play from streaming services (Netflix, HBOMax, DisneyPlus).

As far as I am aware this is not possible on the standard chromecasts, only possible with the chromecasts with google TV by using the android tv integration.

Do you have a link to the device that this would work with?

Ok Do you have a guide how to do this? I have enabled developer options and debugging on the chromecast. I added this to my confguration.yaml but not seeing SuperTV

media_player:
  - platform: androidtv
    name: SuperTV
    deviceclass: firetv
    host: 10.0.100.*
