A small update has been pushed to our Chromecast receiver to improve MP4 playback. MP4 video with AC3 audio will now direct stream.
Please note you'll need to reboot your receiver device in order to see the changes. Enjoy, and look for iOS to take advantage of the new Chromecast receiver soon.
We've updated our Chromecast app with support for the new Chromecast Audio devices. To receive the update, simply power cycle your Chromecast device and reconnect from the casting app.
In case you've missed it, Chromecast Audio allows you to connect Chromecast devices to any speaker set, allowing you to send media from Emby apps. Emby for Chromecast allows to you play songs, albums, playlists, instant mixes, shuffle and more.
Happy casting!
