|
The Jellyfin Cast Web Receiver is the frontend used when casting to a Google Cast capable device. It is used by default when casting from the Jellyfin Android app or Jellyfin web client.
|
|
|
|
### How do I use it?
|
|
|
|
A `stable` and `unstable` version of this app are already included in the Jellyfin server. There is no need to separately install this project. To host your own version (for developing) see `CONTRIBUTING.md`.
|
|
|
|
The `stable` version is the latest released version. `unstable` is updated automatically from the `master` branch.
|
|
|
|
### What does it do?
|
|
|
|
This is a `web receiver` as defined in the [Google Cast architecture](https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/overview).
|
|
|
|
As soon as you press the "cast" button on your client this application will start on you cast-capable device and handle playback functionality.
|
|
|
|
### What doesn't it do?
|
|
|
|
Anything related to your non-cast device (e.g. your phone, browser, other device) or anything about the inclusion of casting for a specific client (e.g. casting from the iOS app).
|
|
|
|
Any issues/features related to that: check the respective repository.
|
|
|
|
### Something not working right?
|
|
|
|
First check if the issue is actually Google Cast related. So answer the question:
|
|
|
|
`"Can I reproduce the issue on any other way then when casting to a Google Cast capable device?"`
|
|
|
|
If yes: The issue probably lies somewhere else.
|
|
If no: [Open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-chromecast/issues/new/choose).
|
|
|
|
### Testing
|
|
|
|
Jellyfin allows switching between a `stable` and `unstable` version of the client. Go the client of your choice and: `user` -> `settings` -> `playback` -> `Google Cast version`.
|
|
|
|
Note that this setting is set per-user.
