Porting VLCthing

Shouldn't be more needed than this, with your VLC Player's IP and then a hub reboot...

Then this in the VLC Player with the matching password used in the driver...

And lastly choose Add interface:Web in VLC Player

You can also Cast to a Google Home to get voice or play sounds, but it disconnects every 5 minutes, so you have to put up with a delay, a tone, then the finally a reconnect and the sound or speech with that method. There's a trick to getting that working too.

If you have Google Home devices, the Google Assistant relay is great for TTS if you don't mind the tone before speech (which cannot be disabled). Even if you don't have a Google Home, the Assistant Relay is a cool way to be able to control devices that are not supported by Hubitat yet, but are supported by Google Assistant.
