It is unfortunately not and I think to be able to root it I’d need to get some kind of files onto it in the first place anyway wouldn’t I?
Also unsure what rooting it would do to DRM controlled streaming, which I would rather not hobble the quality of
Iirc that requires a usb connection at least in the first instance right? I guess only one way to find out if the usb c charging port on the Chromecast dongle supports any kind of data transfer
