Hi DreadPirate,
Thank you for looking at my post and giving it some thought. Yes, I have tried Firefox and Chrome browser, ie. Jellyfin server launches in these browsers. I get the same result. I also tried on an newer TV with built in casting but no luck.
It is working now, but I haven't solved my posted problem. I bought an Amazon Fire TV Stick and plugged that into my TV instead of the Google Chromecast. I searched for, downloaded and installed the Jellyfin app from within the Fire Stick app store. I think it is a version of the Jellyfin Desktop. Anyway, once the app installed, it found my server and plays my movies on the TV. It is as if I was watching the server screen. I have full navigation of Jellyfin using the Fire Stick remote. I couldn't be happier. There was nothing I had to do with server settings or plugins.
The Fire Stick also allowed me to consolidate all my streaming platforms into the one device.
So I am going to say the problem is solved. Thanks again.
Bill.
