JellyFin on Chromecast doesn't work - asaf - 2023-10-28

Hi guys!

I am trying to setup JellyFin on my Synology DS1520+ for the first time and I need some help here. I think I installed it and set it up correctly but when I try to cast it to my Chromecast I don't see the Chromecast device in the list at all!

Tried a couple of solutions I've found online but without success. At the end I've done factory reset on Chromecast and still no luck!

Have anyone found the solution to that one?

What are you casting from?

I am on a PC browser and logged in to the web interface of JellyFin and playing a video. When I press the button 'Cast' up right I get just one option - My device i.e. the JellyFin server itself.

Are you running the official docker image? The official image should be able to cast.

Try using the official image? Should be able to just use your current config directory.
