Hey there,

When I try to stream a certain media file to my Chromecast, the stream crashes after a few minutes. I’ve looked at the logs (/Logs/Plex Media Server.log) but they don’t tell me anything useful but you can look for yourself if you want to here. What you see are the logs from beginning the stream to it crashing.

Using Tautulli, I got this info when streaming to the Chromecast:

PRODUCT Plex Cast
PLAYER Chromecast
QUALITY Original (3.1 Mbps)
STREAM Transcode (Speed: 54.7)
CONTAINER Converting (MKV -> MKV)
VIDEO Direct Stream (H264 1080p)
AUDIO Transcode (AAC 5.1 -> EAC3 5.1)
SUBTITLE Transcode (SRT -> ASS)
LOCATION LAN: 192.168.2.23
BANDWIDTH 3.4 Mbps

The yellow bar seen in Tautulli (watching progress) goes fine but I also see the grey progress bar that displays transcoding progress. I’ve noticed that it crashes every time at 87%. And when I watch the next episode (same Tautulli info but VIDEO is Transcode (HEVC 1080p → H264 1080p)), it crashes at 96% every time.

I just don’t know why. Don’t have a clue! So I thought someone could help me or at least give me some steps to find extra info on why it is failing (so that I can debug myself).

Thanks!
