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.

    Maybe not the same version of chromcast ? I can assure you that i spent a lot of time and effort to make it works and this solution wasn’t invented by me. 😆

    So, basically, the problem exist and this is a solution.

      I juat tried casting from my phone (Android 14) to my Chromecast with GoogleTV.
      Though my jellyfin has a public facing domain, it’s hidden behind a proxy. ATM I only use http internally without whitelisting.
      So I am fairly certain I am casting from a http source for whatever reason.
      And I can assure you my chromecast is reported as a casted device. Jellyfin reports this string on the connected client page: “Google Cast Chromecast 3.0.0-<a long string of numbers>”
