Did you try today’s chrome cast firmware update?

Yes, but it didn't make a difference. I think I might have a different or two issues now. The last Blurays I've ripped I've in 4k HDR10 HEVC. Before this latest Chromecast update they would error with "too many error, giving up" or something similar. Not I just get a black screen, and after some seconds I get back to the page I was on (the movie page).

On android mobile phones, tablets and NVIdia Shield these movies plays without problems (also on Android 13 and 14 beta).

I tired googling what you said, and what I found was this thread, .

This problem started for me when my Chromecast TV 4k was updated to Android 12 and/or a new Emby client version. There were no problems before this.

As i said it may be an hardware problem, or a specific software android 12 issue on google tv chromecast, as you said

 

i really doubt it is an emby issue, my crappy lowend chinese phone has the last android emby apk and android 12 and can display the 1080p bluray rip a 35 mb/s like a charm . google tv chromecast codename sabrina can't play 35mb/s full 1080p hd H264 only files without micro hangs every 2 sec.

google tv chromecast google sabrina can display h265 files at very high bitrates even with android 12 firmware latest updates.

 

for testing your theory, we should find a person on the net who have a google tv chromecast with android 11 firmware.

 

to sum up things.

 

at this momment April the 14th 2023

 

h264 full hd vids with bitrate more than 24mb/s do not work well

h265 4k vids with bitrate more than 100 mb/s works well

@Lukei have very good News for you. 

I got the STTE.221215.004.A1 android patch WHO arrived 5 minutes ago in my country

Now even 1080 h264 vids ať full bitrates around 35 mb/s are working well again. @wordlover

So i correct the Real Truth

It Is not a emby issue

It Is not an hardware issue ; it Is not a global Android 12 issue; IT Is a Google firmware issue specially related to android 12 performance in Google Chromecast 4k.

to sum up things:

h264 And h265 ok ať high bitrates Now.

Google engineers just sucked Which Is very funny. They have invented Android lol

Thanks for the heads-up but unfortunately this update didn't solve the problem of having no ability to control playback in many videos. I updated the firmware, rebooted CC twice, and still the same problem as before.

The STTE.221215.004.A1 update also solved my stutter issues

For video stuttering, please try Emby for Android 3.5.25 and let us know how that compares:

Thanks.
