That thread will explain in fairly easy to follow instructions on how to setup a reverse proxy using a free dns. This is Windows based so unsure if that is what you are running your server on but for me this was game changing. Previously I had outside LAN access through my direct IP so sharing that with others was complicated. Now it's simple. It might take a bit of re-watching to follow along the steps but it beomes super worth it. And you don't needto use the free dns option if you have a domain already or want to go the paid route for one. I believe that member has some other tutorials as well that might better suit your setup if this one isn't the correct fit.
If others have other suggestions for a similar process and experience I'm happy to check those out for myself so suggest away.
Once you have outside LAN access to your server there are many options to use Jellyfin on what ever display you are trying to. It sounds like you havea TV setup for your viewing. If it has android built in there isa a Jellyfin app that can run directly in the TV and no need to use your phone. If it's not a "smart" tv then there are a plethora of simple cheap devices that plugin to you TV and give it that function, again removing your phone (and casting) from the equation.
If you are dead set on using casting I have no experience with that but I wouldn't bother myself either if the end display is a constant static unit. Connect directly to the source and not have to worry after that. And works for all the friends, family and random people you want to give access to your server with.
