I would recommend installing Kodi on your chromecast and using the jellyfin addon[1] into Kodi instead. The app is garbage and Kodi is awesome.
(Don't use the Jellyfin Connect addon, it's different and I wouldn't recommend it)

- yownie 5y agoI'll check this out, thanks!
- 3np 5y agoWhat makes you not recommend Jellyfin Connect? I've been on Connect ~1y now and I found it a smoother and hassle-free experience compared to Jellyfin Kodi (which I was on for ~1y prior to switching). JC has less bells and whistles with library integration and metadata but I'm not missing anything, really.
- parineum 5y agoI found the experience similar to what OP says about the app. Maybe it's better now, it's been a while.
- 3np 5y agoRight! Yeah, I may just have been lucky in starting to use it when it had gotten stable. I had frequent connectivity and syncing issues with the other one but for me Connect Just Works. YMMV of course :)
- cookiecaper 5y agoKodi is awesome, but every time I try to use it on a set-top box-type thing, it promptly consumes the entire available storage. I'm going to have to concoct some type of just-in-time mini-library so that these things don't get overeager with posterization, indexing, artwork, etc., but still allow me to use them to watch things essentially on-demand. Sounds efforty so I just won't.
