Chromecast Gen2 playback issue

[thecoache 0]

Hi,

I'm posting this in the iOS section because I've only been able to test it on iPhones. Please move if this isn't the right place.

I seem to have an issue that may be related to the one in the following topic.
https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/69823-playback-issues-on-chromecast-ultra/

In my case however, I have a Gen2 Chromecast connected over WIFI attempting to stream 4K content on a 1080p LG TV. Like the topic above, all I get is the spinning wheel, which then disappears, and the video never plays. The Emby Chromecast screen comes back after a minute or so.

Lowering the bitrate to something below the original video's forces transcoding which finally makes the video play.

The following link contains a sample video which is affected by the issue along with embyserver and all ffmpeg logs generated when attempting to play the file.

Some device info:
Chromecast model: NC2-6A5
Chromecast Cast firmware version: 1.36.141427
Country code: CA

Emby for iOS: 1.7.4

Thank you.

Ok, it only supports 1080p content so we'll need a resolution condition to force it to transcode. Thanks.
