Chromcast playback keeps pausing

[Dysan 2]

For the last 3 days, when casting to my chromecast from both my android phones (nexus 5x android 8.1 & nokia 8 android 9 (running emby beta)) i suddenly have movies pausing quite randomly.

Not freezing, just if someone presses the pause button, pressing resume on the remote control or app resumes the playback.

The behavior is very randomly, sometimes a half hour, sometimes seconds.

transcode buffer is well filled and throttling around 2 minutes. (speed=1.58x) 

what can i provide more to solve this issue?

Hi, what do you mean by this:

 

 

Not freezing, just if someone presses the pause button, pressing resume on the remote control or app resumes the playback.

 

So they're manually pausing, or not? Thanks.

Do the buttons in the android app show a paused state?

Can confirm I'm seeing this frequently on my Chromecast Ultra.

 

Playback enters a "paused" state on TV. A check of the app shows it in play mode but without the timer advancing. Pressing pause and play has no effect. Can break out of this situation by one press of skip forward in the notification controls.

 

Check of the dashboard shows a healthy stream buffer in play state with no timer advancing.

 

Paused state seems to occur around 25 - 30 minutes into the file.

 

Will try to capture this behaviour with debug logs tomorrow and post them.

Exactly the same as akawoz, but issue is i cannot point to a certain time/file type when this will occur.
