Issue with Chromecast

Hi all,

 

Hopefully someone has experienced the below and knows how to fix it - or it's a bug that can be fixed!

 

Specs:

Emby Server 4.1.1.0 running on Windows Server 2016
Chromecast Gen1 running latest firmware
Chromecast Gen2 running latest firmware
Samsung Galaxy A50 running Android 9 and the latest Emby Android app
iPhone 6 running latest iOS and the latest Emby iOS app
All devices are connected to the same router/access point and are being accessed over the local network

Emby is working fine when playing off of any of the mobile devices, and it works from any device when casting to the Chromecast Gen1, however when trying to cast to the Chromecast Gen2 it brings up the splash screen 'Welcome to Emby - Select Emby Media from your device' - then when pressing play on any media it simply does nothing, when disconnecting from Chromecast and playing the same media on the phone - or on the other Chromecast - it works fine

 

This wasn't caused by the 4.1.1.0 upgrade as it definitely worked after that, but I can't be sure exactly when it started.

 

I found the following from my logs around the time I try to play to the Chromecast:

2019-05-29 23:13:18.848 Error PortMapper: Error creating port map

Any help or advice is appreciated - pretty much ripping my hair out trying to figure out why it's not working!

 

Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply Luke.

 

It's mainly H264 videos in either MP4 or MKV containers - all of which have worked on the problem Chromecast previously and still work on the other.

 

Attached is the full log for today - I have just replicated the issue so anything relevent should hopefully be near the bottom.

 

Thanks

Just as an update... Netflix and YouTube both cast fine to the problem Chromecast, it's just Emby that doesn't play any media.

 

Thanks

Are you sure you even tried to play to Chromecast? I see playback attempts from android, but not Chromecast.

100% - the play button on the app doesn't even 'highlight' or anything when pressed - on both iOS and Android apps

 

As soon as the Chromecast connection is closed on the app, the GUI play buttons respond as normal.

New log was sent as you requested @@Luke

 

Are you starting playback first from your mobile device and then trying to transfer to chromecast?

Tried both way. Same results

 

Can you provide a copy of the media info for this file from the bottom of the web app detail screen? thanks.
