Chromecast has stopped working entirely, on 3.5.3-5, 10.0.0, and 10.0.1. It appears upstream has broken the app.

The logs indicate no errors. The Chromecast grabs manifest.json, and then does nothing else.

The CC app is hosted at https://mediabrowser.github.io/Emby.Chromecast/index.html. It has been updated with the same check as the other apps. The most recent fork can be found here: https://github.com/chlorm-forks/Emby.Chromecast/tree/gh-pages.

One caveat with CC apps like this is they need to be hosted somewhere eg. GitHub pages.

Not really much of a problem, it could for example go up on GH pages very easily or on the same vps that hosts repo.jellyfin.org

If it's just a simple set of web files (no PHP or stuff), yup it's pretty trivial to add it to the web folder.

Happy to set this up, someone with the appropriate permissions just needs to enable gh pages

I think someone from org core team wants/needs to own it.

I'm going to set up a separate, proper VPS for this rather than use GitHub pages - that's really not what they're designed for and it's a lazy solution IMO.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree with your assessment of GitHub pages. Web-apps like Chromecast seem like just as legitimate a user of GitHub pages as humans.

That said, can you provide a status update as to where we are on the path to getting Chromecast working again and what's left to be done?

Does jellyfin/jellyfin-web#23 fix this such that this can be closed?

As soon as we release the means to cast to this new app (should happen in 10.0.2).
