Question about using this with google cast.
I have 5 chromecast devices in my house; when I am in the Jellyfin app, I can cast to âGoogle Castâ which brings up a sub menu showing the individual devices. Iâve included screenshots. My list of devices also includes an Onkyo Receiver, which is outside of that.
It seems the automatically created entities include the receiver, but not the individual cast devices.
Is it possible to somehow manually add the cast devices? I donât know how specifically cast works under the hood. My guess is no; what has to happen is I initiate casting from the jellyfin app, and once thatâs an active player the HA integration would be able to find and control it, but not initiate?
Hi.
Iâve just discovered Jellyfin integration and decided to try it. Howether, there is something wrong, when I try to set it up. What I did was:
- Install it using HACS (no problem with that)
- Check conf and restart
- After restart, went to Configuration>Integrations>Add integration. There was Jellyfin there, so I chose it and observerd âPlease wait while Jellyfin is being setupâ message for quite a long time. Finaly message changed to âError
Config flow could not be loadedâ
How can I trouble shoot that? There is nothing concerning jellyfin in logs, except standard âWe found a custom integration jellyfin which has not been tested by Home Assistant. âŚâ message.
Best regards,
Piotr
Thanks for this integration! Love how this integrates with HAâs mediabrowser. One question about that: on my instance, I donât see any album art, just empty square boxes. Both with individual songs/albums, and with folders, collections, genres, etc. Is this a bug, or are images simply not supported (yet)? Thanks!
No, it works. A common reason for this is mixing http and https, e.g. HA is in https and jellyfin in http, or vice-versa. Browsers typically reject mixed protocols.
Ah, that makes sense. Indeed I use HA via https, but connect to Jellyfin on localhost via http. Jellyfin is also externally accessible via a https reverse proxy, but trying to connect to that throws errors. Iâll investigate further.
OK got it to work in the end on the external https-only reverse proxy URL. Images load very slowly though, and often generate errors (I assume due to timeouts). Given that I also experience slow image loading in Jellyfin itself, I assume this is a Jellyfin issue, not an issue in the HA-integration or its interaction with Jellyfin.
Great work, Koying. Thank you for this! This is the only way I can get my Jellyfin to stream to my Chromecasts right now as I donât have Android & IOS doesnât cast. Life saver(wife saver, really).

Still no solution to call a specific playlist from HA ? I can browse my Jellyfin medias through the media browser of HA but no ID or anything that would allow to call back a specific media/playlist of Jellyfin from HA and get it played on a specific media !
Thanks
If Iâm sharing my jellyfin library with my family, will this integration expose when they are watching something?
Maybe node red could be used to reproduce the list created by jellyfin in google home?
Or if someone knows how to add a folder to play that content randomly or normally, without having to add one by one. Or get the id or something like that.
thanks for your work as well
Iâm trying to share iptv channels from Jellyfin to home assistant but I cant see any channel on the media page in home assistant, all the series i have shared are available. I even tried to add channels to a collection and the collection appears, I can open it but then get Unknown Error message. Is this something you can add to the integration?
Thanks
Unless someone have a legal m3u list of channels viewable from Belgium, if that exists, itâs unlikely that Live TV will ever be supported
do you need a list to test?
can you use this list?
Confused here 
does it mean I have to install first the HACS Jellyfin integration, then add the official HA Jellyfin integration ??
No. There is now an official Jellyfin integration, so you donât need this one (which came first).
I still use this one, so I donât know if there is any advantages of using mine vs. the official one.
Your integration add TONS of features that the official one doesnât have.
The official integration only add Jellyfin as a media source, and only for music. So no media_players, no video file access, no server entity⌠need I go on?
Have you thought of submitting a PR to combine your (amazing) work with core?

Unless it was genuinely overlooked, which seems unlikely considering itâs in HACS, the fact that the builtin integration was re-created without even contacting me seems to indicate they want it their own way, and doing a PR will likely be quite a bit of work that will (again) be ignored 
I really like this, is there any way to disable the access to the media browser folder? because I donât want my kids to watch movies through home-assistant and thatâs how they circumvent parental control.
If you submit a PR, I will be the first to 
it
Iâm sure anyone using your component would agree
