Jellyfin-android: Cast button > forever loading in new version

[zilexa]

Describe the bug
Cast button > forever loading. Also with the nightly Chromecast driver, selected in App Settings.

To Reproduce

1. Go to Play Store, install Jellyfin (uninstalled old version first since this is a brand new app).
2. Click on cast button (after logging in to server on my local LAN).
3. See error.

Expected behavior
See my 2 devices in a list, to select one to cast to.

App 2.0, Android 10, Pixel 1.

How to go back to the old app? Without casting the Android app has little use for me.

Older versions of the app are in our repository: https://repo.jellyfin.org/releases/client/android/versions/

Can you provide us logs of the app so we can help solve this issue?

[zilexa]

Sure, I looked in Settings but couldn't find an option to turn on (debug) logging. Where can I find the log file on Android? There is no Jellyfin folder in /storage or /etc/data/. There is a folder in /etc/data/apps but it doesn't contain logs.

@zenitraM what Jellyfin version are you on?

[zenitraM]

@Maxr1998 it seems that could have been the problem :sweat_smile:. I was on 10.6.4 but not sure if Jellyfin got properly restarted after upgrading it, restarting it fixed the issue so it's possible I might have been running an older version.

Ah, glad that it works now. It seems that it still served the old web client before..
