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

Easiest solution, use the Jellyfin client on your phone and use that to stream to your Chromecast.

If you want to use just your PC, then you need to be able to access your Jellyfin over HTTPS. Search a bit and you'll find tutorials for this, but you'll have some work ahead of you. Doing all this through your smartphone is much easier.

That may be the option I have to take then if it is that involved to set it up
