Excuse the basic questions but I’m not having much luck web searching for answers. I have the server running on my laptop which is also where the content itself if and I have an android phone with the mobile client installed via f-droid.
I can’t seem to cast to chromecast with Jellyfin from either the laptop itself, or the android client app. The client app lists streaming to chromecast specifically as one of it’s features in the description on f-droid.
You can simply install the Jellyfin app on the Chromecast. Then you can operate it with the remote without using your phone.
It’s a chromecast 1, from 2014, can you install apps on those?
I don’t know. I have the most recent one. But I’d guess probably not.
You might be able to install Lineage OS on it
