Excuse the basic questions but I’m not having much luck web searching for answers. I have the server running on my laptop which is also where the content itself if and I have an android phone with the mobile client installed via f-droid.

I can’t seem to cast to chromecast with Jellyfin from either the laptop itself, or the android client app. The client app lists streaming to chromecast specifically as one of it’s features in the description on f-droid.

    Are you using a custom ROM? I couldn’t cast anything after installing lineage with microg on my phone. Maybe it’s something related to google services.

      Yeh it looks like you need the play store version. I think they just copied their description of the app there on to f-droid or something. It seems like based on some older forum posts that you can do without play store as I’ve seen people talking about reverse proxies and nginx servers but I really didn’t want to be going to all that trouble.
