Chromecast with TV - good or bad for Jellyfin - 34626 - 2024-01-14
Im currently using Chromecast Ultra with ethernet cable, but id really like to use Wi-Fi, because the ethernet port in the Chromecast is only 100 Mbit/s, why i wonder if Chromecast with TV is 1000 Mbit?
I was hoping that Chromecast with TV 4k would have Wi-Fi 6 at least, but it looks like it only has Wi-Fi 5 and only supports up to WPA2, so im curious to hear from Chromecast with TV 4k owners, if the unit has Gigabit ethernet port and to confirm wether they work with Wi-Fi5/6 that uses WPA3?
Since the Chromecast is with Android TV, i wonder if installing Jellyfin for Android TV is possible, and if it's working great? Is it possible to cast from a Android phone to this with the Jellyfin app or still only use Googles own Chromecast?

Since the CCwGTV has a USB-C connector, if you found a 3rd party 1G ethernet to USB-C adapter that also passed through power it should work. Google only sells the 100Mbps adapter you mentioned.
Having said that, I haven't had any issues with high bit rate content on WiFI 5.
Using Jellyfin with casting, regardless of the target device, doesn't work very well. Stick with the Android TV Jellyfin app.
