this one also worked as advertised for the first day or two and started glitching by day three. I'd a appreciate if you could ping back in a couple of days whether it's still working.

I will if i dont forget. Feel free to remind me.

I was reading other comments as well. You can also disable transcoding on the client side, the video will not play at all if transcoding is required. Also try disabling subtitles, sometimes subtitles require transcoding for some reason (don't know why tho).

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

it's all directplay, transcoding is disabled server-side and the server logs are the same as when other devices at that location play something. I'll keep digging.

Absolutely no issue on Google TV with Jellyfin. However, heaps of issues casting with the traditional Chromecast through Jellyfin.

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

do you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and jellyfin server 10.9.6?

[–] Diffuser5593@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Yes to all

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Are you trying to play 4k content on a non-4k tv and making the chromecast rescale content? That will result in these issues because the chromecast is a slow POS that needs to play 4k content on a 4k tv

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Jellyfin should transcode that server side no?

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Jellyfin doesn't know what screen resolution the chromecast is targeting, either that or the expectation is that on device down scaling is fast enough

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure? The jellyfin client (web or app) knows what resolution it needs, and the transcode logs on my jellyfin server show an output resolution being explicitly defined. Both the source and player are 1080p (no 4K on my server) so I can’t be sure though

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I'm sure, I have this problem on 2 4k chromecasts on 2 1080p TVs with 4k content

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

Huh, that definitely feels like something Jellyfin should be able to do. Thanks for the info!

[–] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago

no 4k content, no transcoding (disabled server side), plain ol' 264/265 files, no other devices have issues. worked fine for the first day or two. it's possible there was a system update but I don't know, latest ATV app.

The only issues I have with mine is the audio is ever so slightly out-of-sync and I have to hard restart it every few days. Otherwise it's been great.

just to confirm, you have the 4K version? latest ATV app and Jellyfin 10.9.6?

[–] Xyre@lemmus.org 2 points 4 months ago

Yup! I keep an eye on the updates in hope it fixes the audio sync issues. Been eyeing the new model that's expected to drop in a few months.

What's you network setup? Is there any chance that it's connecting through he Internet instead of locally? For example: JF proxies through a VPS, and you're connected to the VPS address instead of the local address of the server?

Have you tried setting up Kodi and the Jellyfin plugin instead on it?
