Stream from Smartphone (Android) to Chromecast #423

Discussed in https://github.com/mediacms-io/mediacms/discussions/421

Originally posted by **streiman** February 22, 2022 I just installed Mediacms on my homeserver for testing - and I am really impressed. But I have a problem / question. When I watch a video on my smartphone (Android, Pixel 6, Chrome Browser) I get the button to stream the video to my chromecast on my TV. But when I select it, the TV only shows the "Chrome" logo, no video is playing. Is this a normal behaviour or is there anything I can do to enable casting to my TV? If I stream from Chrome on my notebook everything works fine.

Potentially by adding a video.js plugin as https://github.com/silvermine/videojs-chromecast

Sorry for the late response. I played around with some different solutions, but MediaCMS is looking the best.

I read the link you posted, but I am running MediaCMS using docker-compose and even I am not unexperienced I am unsure how to achieve it with docker.
