anyone got Chromecast with Google TV 4K working with Jellyfin? it runs Android TV, gets the Jellyfin app and then stuff starts breaking.

It can’t connect to the server intermittently, playback stutters, stops, breaks… the server reports the file is direct play and no issues.

Five other devices have no problems of any kind, only this fucker has spells constantly.

      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

        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

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