Hi!

I've been using Jellyfin for probably a year or so, switching from Plex, and I've found it to be a clear upgrade in most regards. One regard where I find it a bit lacking though is the 'complete couch experience' - when sitting down on the couch to watch something, what I'd like to do is to have an app to select which media to play back, and then play the media back on my Chromecast.

Currently, this workflow is nominally supported using the Jellyfin client for Android, but it's far from ideal - the Now Playing-screen only occasionally shows up, and it frequently desyncs and becomes unusable after only a short amount of time, making controlling the playback an impossibility.

Does anyone have an alternative workflow that would better suit my needs?

I have one that is old enough to not run AndroidTV, but I'm upgrading to one that does after Christmas.
