Chromecast still shows playing after stop and reboot

[plittlefield 56]

One of my friends uses a Chromecast to play content from my Linux server.

However, even after stopping the movie, my server still shows them as playing the movie.

I asked them to check that they had 'stopped' the movie, disconnected their phone from the Chromecast, and they said they had.

They even rebooted the Chromecast.

Alas, the movie is still playing.

I can 'stop' it by stopping the Emby server (running in Docker) but this seems a little extreme.

Is there a way to fix this or can I use the API to 'force stop' all viewings?

Thanks,

Paully

Hi, thanks.

I’ve still got the user showing as playing.

 I’ve got the log page open and have these options…

which one do you want?

Hi, the main emby server log from when the problem was observed. Thanks.
