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

I can stream natively with the Plex web app so I thought that jellfin would be able to do the same.

Haha no mixup. It's just hex data

Huh, interesting. You only have firefox on your system so Plex would only open the web app via firefox too? Just ruling out you accidentally use chrome via Plex which would explain this.

Alternatively if you don't have chrome and just want to try if casting from Jellyfin works at all you could connect via chrome to test it.

No FF is my sole browser, yeah I think you are onto something there. I may have to dl chrome to see if it works in that browser
