Ok so casting to a Chromecast device from a Android Jellyfin client stopped working two days ago for me. Client loads/connects to the CC; I can see the Jellyfin logo on TV and client CC logo shows connected. I hit play on the client and... nothing, doesn't play, no error, nothing.

I can play videos from the same Jellyfin server directly on the Android client.
I can cast other apps to either CC from the same Android device, such as YouTube.
I can play videos from the same Jellyfin server library on my Kodi raspi (using Jellyfin client Kodi plugin).
I can cast from the Android Jellyfin client to a Kodi device to play videos (cast to Kodi instead of CC).
Problem is on either CC and from all 3 Jellyfin Android client devices in the house.

I've enabled debug logs for Jellyfin and tailed the log file but nothing comes up when hitting "play" on the client once connected. I reckon I should see the CC content request at some point.

At this point I think its a problem with the Android Jellyfin App but I wouldn't know where to dig further on that device (is there a client log?). Or perhaps a bug with the Jellyfin CC webapp?

Jellyfin Server 10.7.7 on Debian Buster
Jellyfin Android Client 2.4.4 on LineageOS 18.1 (for my device)
1x Chromecast Ultra
1x Chromecast

This line is displayed each time I hit play and it does nothing:
04-24 17:23:03.168 26472 26472 E WebView : Encountered cast error {"code":"unknown","description":"status{statuscode=success, resolution=null} undefined","details":{}}, https://www.gstatic.com/cv/js/sender/v1/cast_sender.js (1435)

Connecting to the Jellyfin server by IP instead of DNS name solves the problem...
