Javascript error potentially crashing shared link page on slow connections for anonymous user

The bug

When visiting a share link without being logged in to immich I get this javascript error:

C931-4d6.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cast')

I think the problem is with this line:

immich/web/src/lib/utils/cast/gcast-destination.svelte.ts

Line 30 in 0166e99

if (!preferencesStore.cast.gCastEnabled) {

it assumes that preferences is initialized hand has a cast key which is not the case for users that never have been logged in into immich.

I also noticed that this could potentially lead to a javascript error crashing the application because of the unhandled promise rejection with slow internet connections

Additional information

I tried to disable chrome cast in user settings but it does not change anything.
