I have been trying to use the Jellyfin phone app and Web app, but have found issues with both.
In the Phone App as soon as I cast the music to my receiver the Now Playing/Command Bar immediately disappears. If I open up the Bar before casting, the bar itself stays but the information on what song is playing, elapsed time doesn't update. In fact it changes to show a different song altogether. When I view the Queue, it doesn't indicate which song is currently playing but I do see the queue. Now despite what is shows all the buttons on now playing to work.
In the Web App (accessed through a Windows PC not my phone) I can select a song to play and it bar does stay and shows all the correct data, but I can only have the current song playing queued up. If I add any songs to the queue it will stop playing the current song and play the one I added. When you view the queue, you only ever see one song. All conceivable ways to play the music does this. (hitting play on an album, hit play all from here, adding to queue, adding to next in queue, etc... )
Note these things only happen when I cast and it does the same behavior casting to other devices.
Anyone have any insight on how to get the functionality of the Phone App and Web App while casting music to other devices?
