Casting live TV ends after 8 seconds on some devices

Sorry if I've posted this to wrong section, since this is really a Chromecast issue, but it seems like all the other Chromecast posts are here.

 

I was trying to cast a channel to my Chromecast Ultra, and any channel I select plays successfully, but it stops after 8 seconds. The video freezes for a few seconds with no audio, and then changes to a black screen and pauses. If I press play, or try to seek, nothing happens. However, when I cast to my SHIELD, it keeps playing, but still with a small and negligible skip at 8 seconds.

 

I have tried the following:

 

- Check for server updates and restart. Updated from 3.2.27.0 to 3.2.28.0

- Check Emby for Android app for updates. Already up-to-date

- Reboot server.

- Reboot Chromecast.

- Play video directly on my phone. No problems

 

I attached some server and transcode logs from around the time I had the issues.

Hi, as a test, please try disabling quick sync encoding and see if that makes a difference. thanks.

That did the trick. I tried several channels and I couldn't reproduce the issue. Thanks!
