As the title says really. I am using Jellyfin on a windows laptop and Firefox as my default browser.
When I try to get my media to stream to my chromecast dongle it keeps showing as Google cast unsupported. I know there is no problem with the laptop or the dongle, as using plex I am able to stream fine. I don’t seem to be able to find any info online how to do this, can someone help clear this up for me please
I am not streaming via Windows so maybe this is not correct, but isn’t Chromecast like that only working via Chrome? Unless something changed in the last years and Firefox is now also able to.
Interesting username by the way, or did you mixup username and password fields? ;)
I can stream natively with the Plex web app so I thought that jellfin would be able to do the same.
Haha no mixup. It’s just hex data
Huh, interesting. You only have firefox on your system so Plex would only open the web app via firefox too? Just ruling out you accidentally use chrome via Plex which would explain this.
Alternatively if you don’t have chrome and just want to try if casting from Jellyfin works at all you could connect via chrome to test it.
No FF is my sole browser, yeah I think you are onto something there. I may have to dl chrome to see if it works in that browser
This, OP.
You need to use Chrome in order to Chromecast from your PC.
There’s surely more tools? I know VLC can output to Chromecast for example
Sure, yeah, there’s other ways. I was just thinking in terms of “casting from the web browser”
