I've been using Jellyfin for a few years after crossing from Plex.
What we want to do is just watch video via Chromecast.
However both platforms make this very hard. The Android apps are just not reliable and are very confusing. Jellyfin seems to "hint" there's a queue of content somewhere... but how do I find it? Sometimes, choosing a video to play is a game of chance - I'll choose an episode half way through a season... and the first episode of the season will play.
On some phones it just loses its Chromecast "session" and we lose the ability to control it. Other apps don't do this.
It's a shame because it's almost there...
I should perhaps go back to Plex and see whether the app has improved there... it has been a while.
