Chromecast not casting from web browser

[shotty53 1]

Hello all.

For some reason, chromecast can no longer cast from emby. I am able to get the chromecast to connect to emby server. I see emby logo and the message "ready to cast" but when i click play on a video from the web browser, nothing happens. Same behavior from android device.

 

Emby: Version 3.0.5934.0

Chromecast 2

Googlecast Beta Version 16.406.0.0

Emby is setup as a service with custom ssl cert

 

Emby can cast to DLNA (smart TV)

Hi, over plain http I cannot reproduce this. if you've enabled the option "Report https as external address", then try turning that off. Thanks.

It's always been unchecked. I also tried from http and same results.

Most likely then the chromecast device cannot reach your emby server. In other words, although your casting device can connect to the chromecast, the chromecast is then unable to communicate with your server.

Since installing the certificate I've been having issues. I'll try reinstalling emby with the self signed cert and see what happens just curious, does anyone know if emby tries to connect via the ip or fqdn on the cert?

the custom external wan address, if present. otherwise by ip.
