sakle2k 12 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hey all, My son is connected to my Emby server on his phone and trying to cast a movie to Chromecast. But when he clicks the cast button, there are no choices to cast to. He is able to cast a YouTube video. He's using the Chrome browser on a Pixel 4a. Both his phone and Chromecast are on his 2.4g network. Any ideas? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Hi, the web app can only see Chromecast if the web app is used over https. Is that the case? If not, then I would suggest using our Android app. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakle2k 12 Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 I know that used to be the case but hasn't been for quite some time. My parents regularly connect to my server (which doesn't use https) via Chromecast with no issues. But I will have him try the Android app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 That is still the case. Chromecast can connect to your server over plain http, but the browser on the phone can only detect your Chromecast over https. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakle2k 12 Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Ahh I didn't know that, my parents connect with a laptop. Thanks for letting me know! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
