Media not casting correctly.

[Wobzy 0]

Hi guys.

- Emby Server / Win7 Ultimate

- Emby Mobile / Android 10

- Chromecast Ultra

One particular new video file is failing to cast.

All others work fine.

The video plays without issue on my mobile.

But casting only gives a black screen.

Progress bar on mobile remains at 00:00

I read a few other similar posts but failed to find a fix.

What logs do you need to see?

Cheers.

 

Edit; Emby is fully up to date.

Ok I just played the movie on my mobile.
And then attempted to cast it to my tv.

These are all of the logs generated in that time.

Yours is not the same problem as mine.

You probably want to start your own thread and post your logs.

I think I had a similar issue with hardcoded subs and on the fly transcoding.

Switching it in the settings fixed the issue.

You can try it.

But this isn't that either.

Please reboot your Chromecast device and then give it another try. Let us know if that helps. Thanks.

Hey Luke,

Yeah no dice.

Tried this already.

On two separate Chromecast devices.

Also restarted the server.

And the computer.

Please try it again. Thanks.

Ok so the fix is a hard reset.

Neither attempt at soft reset had any effect.

Full reset and setup did the trick.

Thanks for the feedback.
