Chromecast not starting translation

[TiraelSedai 0]

Hi. I am using Chromecast and when I'm pressing "broadcast to [my chromecast]" it launches Emby on Chromecast, and gets stuck in splash screen with Emby icon: Ready to cast.

 

With that you can only disconnect, the actual playback never starts.

 

What logs can I collect to help you debug this? Tried several phones (android app), haven't tried other clients.

Hi there, can you please attach the emby server log from when this happened? thanks.

Alright, sorry for the late responce.

 

User is "Mama" and the attempt starts at around 16:00 time (at least I think so, at least it was UTC+3 16:00 time, if you are logging in UTC always than its 13?)

Is the user connecting from the android app, or the web app? Are they inside the same local network as the server, or remote?

[TiraelSedai 0]

I've answered first question in the start post, it's remote. I'll try web app later today maybe.

@@TiraelSedai how did this go?

 

can you try accessing the server by ip address instead of host name?

[TiraelSedai 0]

I advised the people to ditch Emby in favor of competitors and both of them are working fine from the Android apps with Chromecast.

 

No, accessing server by IP is not an option because

• Dynamic IP
• HTTPS

What kind of SSL cert do you have?

[TiraelSedai 0]

I use [letsencrypt + ngnix in Docker] that's routing traffic to Emby for Windows. Works flawlessly for any other Emby client I've tried (WebOS, Android, web)

Here is ngnix config just in case:


server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;

    server_name emby.*;

    include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;

    client_max_body_size 0;

    location / {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;
        proxy_pass http://host.docker.internal:8096;
        
        proxy_set_header Range $http_range;
        proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range;
    }
    
    location ~ (/emby)?/socket {
        include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
        resolver 127.0.0.11 valid=30s;
        proxy_pass http://host.docker.internal:8096;
        
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
   }
}

Can you try the online web app and see how that compares?

https://app.emby.media

 

Note - the connection to your server may fail if the browser rejects the certificate. Thanks.

I can't atm, l'll try to remember to do it next time I visit my folks, but to be fair not likely

[Luke 42083]

OK great, thanks.
