Jellyfin Chromecast Web Receiver
Part of the Jellyfin Project
Jellyfin Chromecast is a receiver app used when casting to a Google Cast capable device. It is used when casting from the Jellyfin Android client or Jellyfin web client.
How do I use it?
A stable and unstable version of this app are already included in jellyfin-server. There is no need to seperately install this project. To host your own version (for developing) see CONTRIBUTING.md.
What does it do?
This is a web receiver as defined in the Google Chromecast architecture.
As soon as you push the "cast" button on your client this application will start on you cast-capable device & handle it from there.
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 device than a Google Chromecast?"
If yes: The issue probably lies somewhere else.
If no: Open an Issue on GitHub.
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.
