Cast Default?

[Zugdar]

Long time Plex user jumping ship. Nice transition so far.

Only bigger thing I'm looking to solve is having my home assistant media room tablet show the media library and send it to a default player in one step. I have kids so making it as seamless as possible is important.

The Plex integration allows for a default source when you selecting a media source which is really nice to have the right TV get the right selection.

I can get the media library to browse via url (would like to increase number displayed on page but have not looked into that yet) but it will want to play on the browser on the tablet by default.

This could be solved by either having the user have a default play source or a server-side push to cast.

Looked into scripts to try but no luck.

Thanks everyone.

On the jellyfin homepage, in the top right, there's the Cast To Device button. If your target device is available, select it. Press the Cast To Device button again, and it'll have some options, including Set As Default. If the target device is available when Jellyfin is opened, it'll target that device for casting automatically.
