can't stream to chrome cast, max bitrate doesn't change

[morgh 0]

using emby 4.0.2 on ubuntu with docker, i have nginx on docker in front proxying everything to the http port of emby

 

trying to stream to chromecast, I keep getting getting this error when I try to cast to chromecast:

I tried setting the bitrate to 2000 mbps just to try. I did this both in the advanced section as well as for my user account. But it keeps saying my max bitrate is too low. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?

fair enough, I restarted and went through it again. Seeing this error there:

2019-03-12 19:41:38.569 Error VaapiCodecInfoProvider: Error running ffdetect for vaencdec - 

Question:

 

Does emby send a "http://domain:port"url to the chromecast device? If so it might explain why it's not working because I'm using nginx infront with SSL proxying to the http port. So chromecast might be trying to connect to http://domain:port/stream instead of https://domain/stream

is this possible?

Does your emby server dashboard display the correct local and remote addresses? Those are what chromecast will try to use.
