mmcc73 1 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 I'm using Emby for iOS 2.2.13 on an iPhone 12 running iOS version 17.1 In the Emby app, when I tap the cast icon in the top left corner, I get a little overlay on the bottom of the screen that says "Play On", but there are no targets listed underneath. I can cast from other apps on the phone. I can cast from Emby via the web interface in a chrome browser on a PC. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Hi, what didn’t show up that you expected to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcc73 1 Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 A Chromecast Audio and a regular Chromecast that is plugged into a TV. I was wanting to play music from my library using the Chromecast Audio. It is seen by Tidal and YouTube Music. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37119 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hi, are you positive it's on the same local network? Are you using multiple subnets, a vpn, or is there anything complex about your network you can share that might have an impact? We don't actually do this detection ourselves. We embed the google cast developer libraries and it tells us what chromecast devices it finds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcc73 1 Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 I am positive I'm on the same network. There are no VPNs currently turned on. If I go into another app that can cast - say YouTube, YouTube Music, Netflix, or Prime Video - and hit the cast icon, I see the expected devices. In Emby I don't see them. Thanks!

mmcc73 1 Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Is there any way to get a log file from the Emby app to see what is going on when it tries to find devices? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcc73 1 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Bump on this issue... it is still happening and I'd be happy to take whatever troubleshooting steps are needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37119 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 HI, have you updated to Emby for iOS 2.2.14? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcc73 1 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Hi Luke - it looks like I do indeed have 2.2.14. The behavior now is slightly different: the "Play On" menu comes up, but the only choice is "iPhone" - neither my ChromeCast Audio or Chromecast with Google TV are shown. I double checked the YouTube and YouTube Music apps, and my Chromecasts are shown when I click the Cast icon there. My phone is on the same network as those devices.

Luke 37119 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Is the Emby iOS app granted local network permissions on the device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roque24 0 Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) I'm having the exact same issue. Local network permissions are granted but nothing is showing up. My TV with chromecast is showing up in any other app. I am on 2.2.15 Edited November 17, 2023 by roque24 App version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcc73 1 Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 In my case... I did NOT have local network access enabled. I enabled it, and now the casting targets appear. Thanks for the help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
