I use this same method to stream to Chromecast regularly (with Kodi). I will sometimes have issues with some encodings, or desyncs when pausing, but it is solid enough to support streaming full movies at 4K.
Comment on Chromecast over Tailscale?
qubik@lemmy.world 1 year ago- Open Jellyfin stream with VLC (android) and Chromecast trough it. VLC works like reverse proxy.

How do you cast from Kodi to Chromcast, with a plugin? Also, do subtitles work correctly when casting?

Confirmed that this works! Setup: Tailscale on android phone, Chromecast Ultra without tailscale. Edit settings in Jellyfin app to play on external player. Choose VLC as external player and then cast from VLC to Chromecast Ultra. Caveat: casting a stream with subtitles does not work.
