Casting Timeout

I wanted to ask about an issue I am having with casting to a Chromecast through LG G6 phone (using baconfeet server). The app works great to search for content, but when it comes to playing over casting it breaks.

I have played shows and movies directly on my phone with no issues. However when I try to watch content through casting to chromecast I let my phone turns it's screen off like a normal casting, but after a few moments it shows the "ready to cast your media" and the content I am playing goes back to the beginning.
 
More specifically;
cast media button = (on tv screen) ready to cast your media" 
push the play button to play content and it starts playing
set phone down and enjoy content
sometime later (within 5 minutes sometimes less) the video stops and "ready to cast your media" comes up on TV
turn on phone and screen in black with "--:--" where the time of video playback is
 
Please advise as to a solution or remedy.
I am running on the last update from April 22 and still having this issue. Thank you for your time.

It would be nice if this could get sorted... Having a baconfeet account without having chromecast work is pointless.

So I now and using a firestick and just had a video crashed. I went to options and uploaded the log. Not sure how to link that or what else to add to it.

Was watching video, it paused I tried to play it after a few seconds. Then I backed up a screen and it would not allow me to view the video at all.

Went back to home and was able to resume

 

This happens almost every movie I watch.

Well to be honest no. I have upgraded my internet speeds and switched over to a Fire Stick which seems to have solved both issues. The web browser experience on the PlayStation is very limited and I think my slower speeds were causing part of the issue.

Hi been with emby sometime and wondering why my emby cuts out after 30 sec, when playback on my chromecast. I struggling to resolve the issue using baconfeet server.

 

Is this a app problem?
