Okay, call me crazy (you might be right...) but I'm pretty excited about this. I'm looking at self hosting my own jellyfin chromecast receiver.
When you cast video, the actual webapp that loads inside your tv is hosted somewhere on the internet (it's not a built-in component running from your local jellyfin install) because it's gotta be internet facing and registered with Google (it's a whole thing for chromecast receivers in general.)
It's actually remarkably straightforward to setup a local instance of this receiver, it's just a nodejs app that'll need a HTTPS endpoint.
Next step is I need to register a new cast app and add it into my local jellyfin instance and I should be able to get it working in our tv... To what end, I hear you ask? I wanna get some kind of logging/monitoring set up so I can diagnose an issue I've been having the last week or so
I'm hoping to integrate OpenTelemetry
