Chromecast and desktop browser problem

[AaronConner 0]

I've been setting up Emby for the first time on FreeBSD. It's been rocky, but everything is loading correctly now.

 

The only problem left is Chromecast related:

http://app.emby.media/ on a desktop Chrome browser does not find the network Chromecast

I cannot get https to find the server

 

The Android app can find the local Chromecast and cast to it, but will not play a single file. When you click to play a file, the screen goes black, the time shows NaN/NaN, and the gear icon is not responsive. You can only stop and close playback. The dashboard shows that it's "direct playing", so I do not believe it's an transcoding issue.

 

I should also mention that files DO play correctly on Android app, but they do not play on the desktop browser.

 

Is this an issue with certs? What do I need to do this resolve this?

How did you install Emby Server?

On FreeBSD in a jail

There's more to it then that though. What install steps did you follow?

Jail install:

iocage fetch -P emby-server.json ip4_addr="vnet0|10.0.0.7/24" defaultrouter="10.0.0.1" vnet="on" allow_raw_sockets="1" boot="on"
iocage exec emby-server "mkdir -p /mnt/movies"
iocage exec emby-server "mkdir -p /mnt/tv"
iocage exec emby-server "mkdir -p /mnt/music"
iocage fstab -a emby-server /mnt/xx/jails/emby /var/db/emby-server nullfs rw 0 0
iocage fstab -a emby-server /mnt/xx/Media/Movies /mnt/movies nullfs ro 0 0

@@Luke Its just manual jail creation, however, are you on freenas 11.2?

11.3 Release on FreeNAS

I changed the emby-server.json file with nano to show 11.3 (vs 11.2).

Ok we haven't tested doing that, sorry, but we've made some changes to our beta package that i think will give it a better shot of working.
