Google Cast Unsupported on Motorola Edge 30 - ryannathans - 2023-07-17

When I open any jellyfin app (phone/firefox/flatpak) and click the chromecast button, I see (Google Cast Unsupported).

What do I have to do to get it working? I want to cast to my chromecast ultra.

I have Jellyfin 10.8.10_1 installed via truenas core plugin in a jail, OS is freebsd 13.1-RELEASE-p8.

I have a domain configured with public A and AAAA records. IPv6 and IPv4 access works on all devices across all DNS servers.

Jellyfin is not behind a proxy server, the default HTTPS port is exposed (only to subnets trusted to the firewall), the HTTP port is not exposed.

I have a valid TLS certificate for my domain from lets encrypt.

What kind of phone is it? Our Android app (Google Play version, or regular APK sideloaded from GitHub) should do it with no issues. iOS/iPadOS won't have the option at this point in time.

For it to work from the computer, it sounds like you've got the secure context stuff sorted, but are you actually accessing your server:
1. Using the domain (e.g. https://jellyfin.example.com)
2. Using Google Chrome (it is the only browser that supports casting)

My phone is a motorola edge 30 running lineage os, android 13. App installed via google play.

Yes all connections are via https://jellyfin.mydomain.com:8920

My desktop browser was Firefox and ungoogled chromium. I can try the google edition if that makes a difference.


RE: Google cast unsupported - anthonylavado - 2023-07-18

I know for a fact that Firefox won't do it. It looks like for Ungoogled Chromium, you have to enable a feature flag: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-wiki/faq#how-do-i-enable-chromecasting

As for the phone, I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. It really should just pop-up in the list, and it shouldn't say unsupported.

Interestingly, I have found that my friend's phone can cast from my jellyfin.

What dependency is required on the phone? I can chromecast other apps like youtube and emby.

Unfortunately that flag no longer works and was removed - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1179785

I can confirm that flatpak google chrome works though.

I have the same issue for the app installed via Google play on a moto edge 30 phone. I can cast from my older phone, so definitely there is an issue there 😕

I got the exact same issue on my moto edge 30 ultra.

I got no issue on other devices I got, can cast from my old phone and my tablet.


RE: Google cast unsupported - ryannathans - 2023-08-05

Seems jellyfin google cast is broken on the motorola edge 30?

Time to open a github issue Smiling-face

I would love to help debug further but I don't know where to start


RE: Google cast unsupported - ryannathans - 2023-08-05

I did some debugging, had some odd findings, made an issue here: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/issues/1147
