Casting to Chromecast on iOS? (lemmy.world)

Is this supported? I was trying out Jellyfin in lieu of Plex/Emby, but I couldn’t seem to get it working (the Jellyfin iOS app kept saying that Google Cast wasn’t available)… but I’m seeing a lot of posts about how Jellyfin can do everything Plex/Emby can do, so wondering if I just overlooked something. Thanks!

That's right, casting isn't available from either of our iOS clients for the time being. If your server is local, you can use the DLNA function in VLC to access your server and also Cast, or use Infuse's cast ability as well.

If the Chromecast is a newer one with a remote (Chromecast with Google TV), then just install our Jellyfin for Android TV app from the Play Store.

I'm aware it's possible on Android using the "official" app - although it can be flaky - and also from desktop if you're using Google Chrome. Not sure what's possible on iOS unfortunately.
