Chromecast with Waydroid

There are many sophisticated Media Players for Linux with Jellyfin Server support. But some of them lack Chromecast and/or DLNA support - and if you are working from home with a coorperate device a native application is not an option. Therefore I'll try to integrate support to the docker version of Feishin ... 

[Feature]: Add DLNA renderer discovery ...

But as an interim solution I'll use another approach on my development Laptop to improve my networking and container skills a bit ...

Feishin

Feishin it is a robust, specialized client-side interface designed to exercise digital sovereignty over your personal media library. This open-source desktop application acts as a modern, functional frontend for established, self-hosted media servers (like Jellyfin or Navidrome). By decoupling the playback client from a centralized, proprietary cloud API (e.g., Spotify), Feishin allows users to maintain complete control over metadata, access patterns, and the underlying data. 

Jellyfin 12.0

The self-hosted media ecosystem is constantly evolving, and the latest update, Jellyfin Version 12.0, is a significant releases in the recent history of the Web client and core functionality. 12.0 represents an overhaul, focusing on polishing the user experience, library performance, and advanced features for media organization.
