Dedicated theater tablet - Defaulting the cast/remote control target for a user or device

[jwilcox767 1]

Hello, I have a dedicated tablet theater tablet using Home Assistant (Android), with the Emby web client embedded in one of the HA screens.  This particular user/device never plays back content locally, it's only used to cast to/remote control the Emby client on a PC that's actually playing the movie.  Every time I go to watch a movie, the Emby web interface embedded in the HA client defaults back to the "local player" on the tablet and whoever is watching has to manually specify to cast to "Theater PC". 

Is there some way to force/default a user/device to always cast to a certain device?  I'm not sure if this an edge case or an unrealistic expectation, but it seems like it would be quite useful.

Thank you!
