Problems resuming when casting to Chromecast

[Mentalblaze 9]

My son have problems when he use Emby on his mobile phone and cast to Chromecast. 
(Mobile Galaxy S22 ultra Android 13 and Emby app v. 3.2.90)

It works fine until he pasues and then tries to resume. 

This time the Chromecast disconected by itself and it was not possible to resume or to use fastForward to resume from the correct position. 

Is there some issue around this or a setting I need to tweak for his user or all users?

I have not seen these issues myself, so I can't really test things here.

I'll attach the last log file where the issue happened somewhere around 11:30 - 11:50 something. But I attach the whole day, if there is useful info earlier (even if I doubt that).

Thanks. He uses an older Chromecast and not the newer one with GoogleTV, but the symptoms are the same. 

And as I mostly use x265 now, it is probably .mkv that he has tried.

I think more and more people are starting to have problems with these older devices simply because we're moving past their time.  Gen 1 & 2 CCs only supported VP8 and H.264 to a resolution of 1080p/30fps. 3rd gen raised H.264 from level 4.1 to 4.2 with 1080p.60fps. The CC Ultra was the first CC to support HEVC for example.
