Dysan 2 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) using the latest beta app of emby and the chromebrowser on mu mobile blackberry (android 6.0.1) i only have My device under select player. When playing from a windows device i can select chromecast from the menu. Other apps do have a chromecast option, so it seems to be emby related ? attached 2 files (one of another app) Server version: Version 3.2.12.0 81cbe265-6f41-4791-8cb0-be6692fab460.log eeaf0bcc-519b-4827-b04b-7255238a5e32.log 31d12952-a8a0-4cda-bc43-186fb2b0d681.log 75c77475-159e-4763-bbb8-43536bb62c40.log 917c15e4-2216-416b-8163-442386d6434d.log 180eceb6-b325-4356-960d-e480a96eda94.log 75370376-9862-4164-a9cd-b072e31529aa.log c5f00b00-e47f-49e2-b0a9-3f3949201bf6.log 56fb8c3d-a3b6-43b2-b607-0fdaf503f0ea.log Edited April 11, 2017 by Dysan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hi, just tested and I don't see any problems with Chromecast showing up. Remember that Chromecast depends on Google Play Services so if you've disabled anything on your device then that will definitely cause a problem. If the issue persists please see how to report an Android problem. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 I think i got all 'how to report an Android problem' boxes ticked, except the server log (because the stable emby app / webbrowser doesnt have the problem) issue is that all other apps using chromecast function behave as expected, it's only the emby app on my phone causing the issue.

Dysan 2 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 * kick* Uninstalled the emby app from my phone, and reinstalled it. Still no cast fuctionallity in the emby app. tested some other new apps, but they aswell as my android OS has a cast function to my devices. it's really only the emby app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 We are using the google cast libraries. It searches your network and tell us if any chromecast devices are found. We simply display the results we get back from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 I know, but all other apps and the native screen cast work as expected, the only app that doesn't find cast devices is the emby app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted May 17, 2017 Author Share Posted May 17, 2017 Yet another kick, anyone know where to look to solve this irritating issue? still unable to cast from emby from my android phone to any Cast device in my network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysan 2 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 New chapter in this saga, just got a brand new phone, installed eveything again... But as you can guess, no chromecast option for the emby app, everything else works perfectly (casting whole screen youtube all other apps) Except the emby app..

Dysan 2 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Anyone here with a solution ? this is getting very frustating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I have not been able to reproduce as it always works on the first try for me. You could try the open beta version as it has updated Google cast libraries. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 i'm already running the beta version. Strange this is, both the web interface (chrome browser) as the app wont select anything else then My Device as cast option. All other apps i'm using as well as the screen duplicate option can cast to all my devices.. i know the app uses google cast library's, but all other apps must be using the same option ? so what makes emby different on my phone ?

Luke 37132 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Can you test in Chrome with the web app and then copy and paste the contents of the browser console, and attach them here? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I don't think the mobile chrome browser has a console .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37132 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 can you test this in a desktop browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dysan 2 Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share Posted July 7, 2017 Yes, this works. To sum up the issue: - Casting with Emby App and other apps using chromecast on a Nexus 6X = ok - Casting with Emby App and other apps using chromecast on a Nexus 5 = ok - Casting with Emby on Chrome browser & other Sites windows 10 = ok - Casting with Emby on Chrome browser & other Sites ChromeOS= ok - Casting with Emby App on 2 different Blackberry Android phones = No go - Casting with browser & any other App supporting Chromecast & Mirror screen on phone on 2 different Blackberry Android phones = OK So the issue lies with the emby app doing something different than all other Chromecast apps on a Blackberry STV100-4 Android 60.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
