Hey fellow saltdogs! :D

I have a jellyfin server running on an old laptop. Now I have the jellyfin Android app and would want to play content with subtitles (anime weeabooo), Cast to my Chromecast. I was using VLC player as an external player on Android but casting with subtitles is not supported. Max Player had a lot of adds I have heard (?).

Anyone watching their content with subtitles via Chromecast? What player are you using?

Plex will cast to a Chromecast with subtitles. It will also fetch them if you don't have an SRT file in the folder of your video with the same name. Lenguages is also selectable at the time of fetch. I do not pay for pro. Nonetheless, I have not tried jellyfin and cannot tell you if it is possible there or not. My guess is it should.
