Nic Roland :mastodon:<p>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.</p><p>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.)</p><p>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.</p><p>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 🔭 </p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/jellyfin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>jellyfin</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/chromecast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chromecast</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/selfhost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhost</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/monitoring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>monitoring</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/observability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>observability</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/o11y" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>o11y</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/otel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>otel</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/opentelemetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>opentelemetry</span></a></p>
