I gave it a solid try on my Unraid server, mostly using android to stream to Chromecast. And I'm sorry but it just isn't good enough for regular use. Too many bugs. Subtitles were all kinds of messed up (and it's not the subtitle file, because it all works fine on Plex), remote control for Chromecast kept disappearing. Only came back after force stopping the app. I had a number of other minor issues and errors, but it was too much to switch over from Plex, where I haven't had any of these problems. I tried. Maybe I'll give it another shot in a year or two.

The discord for Jellyfin wasn't very helpful either when I tried to give this feedback. Basically told me I'm probably doing something wrong. Ok well back to Plex then.

Sorry to hear that. Chromecast (the old kind) has always been difficult to work with for us, as opposed to the Android/Google TV client where we've been able to make things a lot more reliable.

I hope we can get some contributors to give the Chromecast app another pass some time soon.

Regardless, we'll be around if you ever need another alternative :-)
