King Pin 1 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not sure if this should be in Windows or Qnap sections since I run Emby on a Qnap server. Last 4 movies I have streamed to my tv with Chromecast dongle, War Dogs, The Paperboy, Jack Reacher and Game night have all stopped early. Except for war dogs the other 3 stopped with roughly 20 minutes left. War Dogs stopped half way through. Screen goes back to the Green Emby sign with my different movies changing in the background. Equipment: Qnap TVS-882T Desktop Computer running WIn 7 hardwired to router and NAS tv with chromecast dongle wifi All movies in .mkv format I go to Emby on my desktop pick a movie and stream it to one of my tv's. Happened with Emby 4.2 and now with Emby 4.3 I attached the last 3 log files on my screen. not sure if they are the right ones. embyserver.txt embyserver-63710150400.txt ffmpeg-remux-7450483d-4acf-4793-9731-64ea39fbb2ee_1.txt Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25393 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Hi there, what model Chromecast? Link to post Share on other sites
King Pin 1 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 2nd generation HD I haven't had any issues previously just lately. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25393 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Can you try lowering the Chromecast quality setting in the casting app? This could be a sign the bitrate is too high. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
King Pin 1 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 Not sure what you mean by the casting app. I stream these directly from my desktop not my phone or tablet. Pic attached. Link to post Share on other sites

King Pin 1 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 So you would like me to change from "Auto" to something like 1080p 8mbps? Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 25393 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Correct yes. The default behavior on the local network is to just go as high as possible to avoid transcoding, but sometimes for Chromecast that can be a little too much. Link to post Share on other sites
