Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page

Can you tell more about this please?

They're probably saying that they run the self hosted jellyfin app and stream their own media. That's what I do, and have been doing for like a decade because netflix and other shitty streaming companies can eat a bag of dicks (except Dropout, they're real Gs) from the number of times I've gone to watch something on my watch later list only to find out they didn't get the license this quarter so 🖕to my movie night

dropout, beacon, and pbs are pretty much the only ones worth of a monthly sub :)

Thank you. Yeah I'm so fed up of netflix, all the free on-demand streaming services in the UK are better than Netflix now, and have the same amount of ads. I torrent a fair bit but I used to like Netflix for casually watching things I might not have found otherwise. The only thing is that there's nothing to find on there anymore.

Yeah, I still remember when netflix was good. My absolute favorite feature they had was one I used on my PS3, was Max. It was this 'assistant' who would ask you a bunch of questions and then pick a number of suggestions you can look through to pick a movie when you didn't know what to watch. It was fucking awesome, and I still periodically look for something similar for jellyfin.
