Connection to Chromecast Failing

[Vallaqan 0]

I'm having a weird problem. When I try to connect to Chromecast the button shows up, I can tap it and then my Chromecast device shows up. If I then tap my Chromecast device nothing happens. If I go into another app (I've been using Plex) and connect that with Chromecast, I can then go back and connect Emby to my Chromecast with no problem.

 

I cleared my logs on my phone and then tried to connect once. Here are the logs from that:

I just rebooted my phone and it connected right away twice in a row. EDIT: I rebooted the Chromecast and then tried again and it didn't work.

 

I'm including the logs I pulled which show the difference when connecting successfully and not connecting.

Thanks. I am trying to find out the reason for those errors.

Thanks.

 

Judging by the time you posted, in case you missed it, I'm posting again to say I've edited my post. It stopped working again after rebooting the Chromecast.
