Android Jellyfin music app with Chromecast support?

3 years ago by TotallyNotJohnSmith to c/jellyfin

Hi folks. I've been digging around to try to find a Jellyfin player that supports casting. The default Jellyfin app does, but isn't overly music optimized. Finamp works great, but no cast support. I recently tried Fintunes which said it had cast support, but I can't find any reference to it in the app.
Anyone have any suggestions? The Jellyfin backend is way better for music than the nextcloud based one I was using so any input you'd have would be appreciated.

For Fintunes, it's worth asking where you downloaded it from. Was it F-Droid?

I'm part of the Jellyfin Core Team, and for our own official app, the normal one (sideloaded APK or Google Play) has Cast support, while the F-android version doesn't. It's because Casting relies on a Google proprietary SDK module.

I grabbed the apk from the release section of their GitHub page, since they aren't on the play store yet. You're making me wonder if that has something to do with it..

I use Yatse. Works well. Fits my use case. I play music hosted by Jellyfin either over bluetooth, or to the Sonos in the kitchen.

It's not specifically designed for music, but it works well enough for my use case.
