I have a lifetime Plex pass but still I am considering switching. Currently I have both Jellyfin and Plex on the same libraries but Jellyfin doesn’t have support for chromecast (on iOS and Firefox) nor support for offline . (Not) covering neither my at home nor travelling use cases 😕
Can you clarify what you mean by Chromecast support? I have a Chromecast device and it has the jellyfin app on it. Works like a charm without issues. I have a feeling you mean something else though?
He's probably referring to just Chromecast without the Google TV module. Jellyfin works great for me as well on the Chromecast w/GTV
This 🙂
I think you can use Infuse on iOS to chromecast. I’m not sure if that’s behind the subscription though.
For chromecast to work with the app, you need to install the jellyfin app from google play, not fdroid or other store.
