Question about my Gen 1 Chromecast firmware

I tried to cast a show to my Gen1 tonight. It's not listed as a choice in Emby. It's listed and works with Plex, Netflix, and Youtube.

 

I tried the Android app and Emby web.

 

Am I missing something or is it just not supported with Emby?

 

It works now. I hadn't used this ccast in a long time (2+ years). This morning I turned it on and it ran an update. It's now listed in Emby and I can successfully cast to it (via the Android app).

Hi, yes it is supported. But in the web app if you're on Chrome 72+, then you need to be running the web app on either localhost or https. It is a new Chrome requirement that began with version 72, so that now means you have to setup SSL if this is what you want.

I had success setting the "unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure" flag in chrome so that I can use my chromecast with a local server without https


 


- go to chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure


- enable unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure


- add http://<EMBY_SERVER_IP>:8096


- restart browser
