Incredible System Lag while casting - Device Requires Reboot

[Netbug 26]

I've switched over from an HTPC on my main TV to a Chromecast Ultra.

 

Since I'm now casting from my Samsung Galaxy S7, I've experiencing insane lag on the phone.

 

I'll start playing something and it will be fine. However, after 10 minutes or so, my phone starts to slow down. After 30 minutes, the phone is completely unusable and I have to do a button reset in order to use it again.

 

I'm using the Microsoft Launcher (if that's important).

 

Logs attached.

 

Please advise.

 

Thanks.

Anyone have any ideas on where to even start with this one?

[Luke 42077]

Thank you for your patience.

[Netbug 26]

Thank you for your patience.

 

No worries. Any thoughts on this one? Have to reboot my phone every time I watch something longer than 20 minutes

 

If you're still looking into it, I can keep waiting.

[Netbug 26]

Gonna bump this once more.

 

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for a low-priced tablet to use as a remote control in the mean-time, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks.

Oh great. Thank you, Luke.

Hey, Luke.

 

Any update on this? Just checking in.

[Luke 42077]

We are looking into it. 

 

Can you try this version?

I wouldn't expect a big difference but still I am curious. Thanks.

[Netbug 26]

Sure thing. Thanks, Luke.

 

Uh... how do I go about getting that version onto my phone?

[Luke 42077]

You would have to side load it.

How can I confirm that the latest version of the beta has been installed? I attempted to use it this evening, but there was still the overheating and system lag. The beta may not have installed (I did opt in through that link in your previous post though).

[Luke 42077]

By now the store will have updated you to the latest.

[Netbug 26]

Issue persists with latest build. Just FYI.

[Luke 42077]

Ok, please try the next release of the app, thanks.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S7

Android Version: 7

Emby Version 2.9.89

Tested: Saturday, February 24th, 2018

Result: Worked fine on local device. Upon attempting to cast, system lag returned to a point where a hard-reset of the phone was required.

[Luke 42077]

I know what's causing it. I'm looking into it, thanks.

 

By the way are you able to play video locally on the device?

That's good to hear

 

Local content seems to be ok. I'm just running a movie now to do a real test (I don't usually watch on my phone; I use it more as a controller).

[Netbug 26]

After about 40 minutes, it seems decent. A little warm. Some fast battery drain (went from about 78% to 60% in 45 minutes.

 

Minor lag with the rest of the system while Emby is running.

[Luke 42077]

Thanks for the feedback.
