Cast Support

As Cast doesn't support authentication, enabling this functionality will make your static files, like artwork and media files, accessible by guessing the links. Those only require read-only access and the application itself is still protected.

Enabling this integration will embed an additional third-party JS library from Google.

Requirements:

• HTTPS: To use the cast integration, HTTPS needs to be enabled. This can be done using a reverse proxy. This is a requirement from Google, as communication to the casting device is required to be encrypted, but the content itself is not.
• Supported Browser: A supported browser is required for this integration, such as Google Chrome. Other browsers, especially Chromium-based browsers, may support casting by enabling it in the settings.
• Subtitles: Subtitles are supported, however they do not work out of the box and require additional configuration. Due to requirements by Google, to use subtitles you need additional headers which will need to be configured in your reverse proxy. See this page for the specific requirements.
• You need the following headers: Content-Type, Accept-Encoding, and Range. Note that the last two headers, Accept-Encoding and Range, are additional headers that you may not have needed previously.
• Wildcards "*" can not be used for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. If the page has protected media content, it must use a domain instead of a wildcard.
