mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hi I have my media organised to enable multiple versions of the same movie. This option is available on the android app and I can choose which version to play in the movie details screen. The problem comes when I connect to a chromecast this option disappears and it seems to play the version i wouldn't choose. I think it chooses the highest quality version which is normally 4k HDR meaning it transcodes (working the server hard) and colours are off as HDR is lost. I have searched and not seen this mentioned so hopefully I haven't miss anything. Thanks for your help
Luke 38974 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Hi, this doesn't sound right. Chromecast does support version selection, so the controls should not disappear. What version of Emby Server are you running?
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I will do some screenshots when I get home. I am running server 3.3.1.0
Luke 38974 Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Ok, also make sure the android app is up to date. thanks.
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 Yes both updated I can't see how to attached screenshots so I have done links. One shows app without being connected to chromecast and showing the versions the next is connected and not showing versions. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HUvtDXj20pVrtMEO2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/wKcscGTIr3ccg8vD3 thanks
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 sorry here's the other pic. https://photos.app.goo.gl/rhlF3fjgMgQ172uw1 as you can see its connected to chromecast and the options has gone
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 Android 7 and the app is up to date in the play store
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Posted March 19, 2018 Looks like it might be an ios/android thing. Bad pic but it shows its working fine on my ipad.
Luke 38974 Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 A new version has gone out with this feature. thanks.
mattykellyuk 18 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 Yeah can confirm its working for me now. Thanks
