It could be an issue with the codecs (browsers are usually pretty limited in what they support). You could try to use a client like Jellyfin Media Player instead. It bundles libmpv, so it plays almost any video format there is.

From their "Firefox name FAQ":

A "Firefox" is another name for the red panda.

Have you tried enabling HLS in "Audio and video"? It solved the issue for me (using the official instance).

I have Jellyfin installed on a remote machine, connected to my laptop and phone via Tailscale. Is it possible to cast from that machine to a gen 2 Chromecast?

From the Jellyfin instance installed on my laptop, in the same LAN, I can authenticate from the phone and cast to the Chromecast, so all the pieces work.

I have tried announcing the subnet from the laptop (--advertise-routes=192.168.1.0/24), with IP forwarding etc. The remote machine accepts the route and can ping the Chromecast (192.168.1.100). From the phone I can connect to the server and start casting. The screen shows the Jellyfin logo, but playing anything has no effect.

Has someone managed to make it work?


EDIT: As I feared, it seems it's not possible. I can't change the routing table of my ISP's router, so the Chromecast can't reach the remote server.

I'll try to find a newer Chromecast, or maybe just get a Raspberry and install the full client there. Thanks everyone!

You should put some quotes where you use the array:

not_what_you_think=( "a b" "c" "d" )
for sneaky in "${not_what_you_think[@]}"; do
  echo "This is sneaky: ${sneaky}"
done

This is sneaky: a b
This is sneaky: c
This is sneaky: d

I haven't used Ubuntu since the pre-snap era, but from discussions online I think that every program is stored in a different squashfs that is mounted at boot.

So the cursor really was darker! It seemed that way after switching to a new laptop, but I wasn't sure.
