Hello Forum,
I ran into the same problem with Chrome Browser. Just installed Jellyfin out of the box in Ubuntu 22.04, set up everything needed and couldn't play any mp3-file in Chrome, but it works in Firefox. I tested all from my MacBook and then directly on the Ubuntu desktop, the same problem there.
I just would like to use Chrome Browser for streaming my music archive to my 2 ChromeCast speakers.
So what's wrong? Usually the Chrome Browser is able to play mp3-files without any special adjustments.
Thanks for your help,
Achim
EDIT:
I don't know why Chrome doesn't play the mp3 files directly, but if I connect to ChromeCast first and then try playback, it works. But I found out that there is no queue when I stream to ChromeCast. Unfortunately, this is then also unusable.
That works like a charm:
Currently I'm using Firefox for Jellyfin Web and the playback works fine, also the queue seems to be stably available. For streaming playback to the ChromeCast speaker group I use Mkchromecast.

Actually Jellyfin is running with Ubuntu 22.04 on a small Mini-ITX equipped self-built NAS with 8 GB memory. I use this box mainly as a backup target and media center for my music archive – and of course as playground for Linux.
