Android app stops casting to Chromecast

[Guest Normal]

Just happened the second time now.

The Android app stops casting to my chromecast app after about 30 to 40 minutes. The movie gets in "stopped" mode (not playing) and I need to re-start it.

My wifi connection is top - no problem here.

 

Where could that come from? From the App or my Smartphone?

The app was "open" while that happened.

Does the Chromecast keep playing?

It's like this:

 

Chromecast on TV, HDMI 3. Active HDMI is #3 and TV is on.

I go on my mobile phone and open the Emby app. I click the Cast icon and click on the Chromecast in that list which is on my TV.

Then I open up a movie entry and click "play".

Now I just turn the screen of my mobile phone off.

 

The movie is on my TV now. About 30 to 40 minutes later it get's "stopped" like if I click on the stop button.

I tested that all day long. When I play a movbie as above, then close the Emby app and then turn off the screen of my mobile phone this doesn't happen.

 

Not sure where that comes from.

 

 

When clicking on cast, Emby just sends the signal to the Chromecast "Look: here you have a file to play which is located 'here' " - right?

It's not the Emby app itself playing / sending the movie.

It sounds to me like your Chromecast is dropping from the network, no? Try lowering the in-app Chromecast quality setting and see if that helps. Thanks.

I will test around the next few days and let you know what my findings are.

Happens again everytime when the Android App is open.

This time after 22 Minutes to 30 Minutes. Not important what movie, what size or resolution. Happens everytime I start something on my TV via my phone and let the Emby app open.

 

 

Edit

before you start investigating this, I will completely re-do my phone (new android etc). Maybe it's just bugged.

Update:

 

today I was casting a youtube video to my chromecast from my PC. The Emby app on my PHONE with no video playing was open. My phone screen was off.

Suddenly my youtube video on my TV gots stopped and my TV displayed the Emby "Ready to play..." screen.

 

Definitly a Emby problem with the android app!

@Luke Have the problems with the emby android app been resolved? I have a client who cast on his chromecast and after about 20 minutes the film stops for no reason.
