Jones1008 0 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hello emby community, a few weeks ago, I was trying to connect to my chromecast 2 wired to my router via the "official micro usb to LAN adapter" from google, but I couldn't find my chromecast within the emby iOS App. Strangely I was able to find my chromecast within the YouTube iOS App. Then I set up some port forwards in my router to my chromecast, which I found online... (ports: 1900, 5353, 8008, 8009). This didn't help either... Then I tried to connect via WiFi, which immediatly worked. I also reseted my chromecast to default and even tried all this with my older (also reseted) chromecast 1, where it didn't work either, so the issue must be with the Emby iOS app. Connecting my iOS device to my chromecast with LAN worked a few weeks ago (but with problems too...) but now it doesn't work anymore. Did anyone notice this issue too or what can I do to connect my iPhone to my Chromecast via LAN again? Could this issue maybe come with an Emby iOS App Update?Regards Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi, have you made sure they're both connected to the same wifi network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones1008 0 Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Hi, have you made sure they're both connected to the same wifi network?The problem isn't when my chromecast is connected to my wifi, as you can read above.It is, when the chromecast is connected via the official ethernet adapter from google. It works, when it's connected to my wifi! And yeah, I made sure that my chromecast is connected to the same network as my iPhone...

Luke 36999 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ok, I'm not really sure then. We don't actually detect Chromecast ourselves, it is done by a Google library. We haven't updated it in a while so maybe it needs an update in order to work with that adapter. We'll do that for the next release, thanks.

legallink 187 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Just a follow up on this. When it says connect to "nearby device" the iOS app crashes and doesn't connect. Netflix connects jus fine in the same settings. Edited August 1, 2017 by legallink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 What do you mean "nearby device"? We don't have anything in the app that says that. You click the cast icon in the app and your Chromecast will show up in that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 @@Luke when I click on the "Cast" icon, it says "Nearby Device". It did the same in Netflix. When I clicked on it in Netflix, it asked to access my microphone and then I believe it played a noise and didn't require me to add an access code. After it authorized the Chromecast in Netflix, it then just listed the Chromecast. When I clicked on the same in Emby iOS, it just crashed the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36999 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Please try Emby for iOS 1.7.6. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
