chromecast Issue transcode/direcplay

[rrmelgar 0]

no settings have been moved from past weeks/months  for this to start happening just taking regular updates 

 

having a issue have 2 chrome cast connected on same network  one working fine other shows black screen I troubleshoot it for couple of hours looks like one video stream is getting  trans-coded and video plays fine but the other video is getting send as direct play which chrome cast can't play  as Fios is mpeg-2 tried lots different settings just on this chromecast  like limiting bandwidth  to force it to trans-code nothing work even the setting under profile chrome cast 480p 1 mbps  nothing..

 

 

 

APP iconnects to chrome cast fine.... emby logo on TV and as I select video it spins for while and then black screen only info i can see is on server main page.

I can play recording fine since they been pre comverted but not live TV on this particular chrome cast device any other streaming app works fine HBO, netflix, youtube, you name it 

 

 

 

it saw the status on server dashboard  one 1 device it said transcoding   on other said direct play which chromecast doesn't support 

 

issues like this i have fixed by reseting chrome cast back to factory settings.... and redoing settings and reloading emby   but not working ...... 

3rd pic have just deleted and reset all emby settings still having issue..... direct playing on dash server and black screen on tv....  only on this particular chromecast     

or it may not be a trasncoding issue but that what i notice while  all this is happening

I can pull same channel/video on phone/PC and other chromecast plays fine as soon as I tried to cast on this particular device it happens
