Feature description:
Both Jellyfin web and Jellyfin Android app can control any other Jellyfin instance opened and connected to the same server.
From my mobile Firefox I am able to chose what’s playing on my Android TV.
Problem solved:
Solve the problem of Chromecast ad DLNA being too slow and unstable.
Brought benefits:
Users can control what is playing on another Jellyfin client. I can send my smart playlists tô my TV running Jellyfin.
Other application solutions:
Jellyfin web and Jellyfin for Android have implemented this option.
We don’t need the full implementation, just controlling queue, start, stop, next, prev and repopulate the queue.
Additional description and context:
Visually, the app wouldn’t change a thing. Just another remote player on the “cast” menu.
