I've been streaming to my chromecast having jellyfin-androidtv 0.16.11 without much issues, but from a few days now everytime I try to reproduce any video, even those previously reproduced on the device, all I get is a dark screen with the controls, but nothing is reproduced.

I have updated my Jellyfin server to 10.9.7, but that does not seem to be the issue. I can reproduce media via web, via the media player (flatpak com.github.iwalton3.jellyfin-media-player 1.11.1) and the android app 2.6.1,

On the logs I can see the following:

It makes no difference if I set the app to reach the server via IP or the reverse proxy.

I have looked for open issues but have found nothing related, so I don't know if this is just me or if it would be worth to open a issue.

Since it works fine on all other devices, I guess you could exclude the server.

Did you try deleting the server client side and re-adding it? That has solved some issues for me on the Chromecast.

Also: the logs are missing

Thanks. I reinstalled the app, cleared data and cache, but it was still unable to stream any content. Then I noticed the chromecast was acting weird, it was lagging, it was getting very, very slow connection speed, like if it was applying updates or running maintenance, I don't know for sure. I checked again next day, and now is is working as expected.

If not for the fact that I really like the form factor of this device, I would ditch it.

Otoh, the logs are in the post, maybe your client is not rendering > markdown < properly.

Yeah Memmy still has some issues it seems.

Happy you solved it though! I’m hoping for a new Shield when the new Switch arrives so I can ditch it myself. It works, but you can really tell it’s strugling on the higher bitrate files.

Have a great summer mate
