Videos to Chromecast

[andykvakk]

Hello. I have problems with viewing movies and music on my chromecast. Does anyone have a clue of what may be wrong?

1. I run Subsonic behind an apache reverse proxy to get SSL to my subdomain. I use a letsencrypt ssl certificate
2. I try to cast from my chrome browser on my laptop using my domain adress (not local ip)
3. When i click on cast icon in chrome browser i get the subsonic logo on my tv.
4. When starting a mkv file the player tells me that it is casting
5. Nothing happens on my tv for a long time, then suddenly the movie files navn is show and dissapears within a second. I have also tried mp4 and avi files.

A friend om mine tried at his home and he gets the same behavior.

My subsonic config:
SUBSONIC_ARGS="--port=8080 --max-memory=512"
SUBSONIC_USER="subsonic"

My log says:

This is my Subsonic info:

License Subsonic Premium

I'm seeing this same behavior since the update as well, I have a fairly vanilla install running Ubuntu 16.10

Is Chromecast movies working for anyone at all? I start the movie using subsonic via Chrome on my PC. The subsonic icon shows up om ny tv, but movie does not start.

A bit more information:

I have a Ubuntu server setup with apache and reverse proxy because I want to use Subsonic at work for music and work has blocked all the "strange" ports, but port 80 and 443 is available.

My Apache config (example.com is used instead of my real domain):

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/subsonic.example.com/fullchain.pem
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/subsonic.example.com/privkey.pem
    SSLProxyEngine on
    ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
    ServerName subsonic.example.com
    # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit ,alert, emerg.

Everything works in the webclient/browser from my local network, WAN and from the official Android client. I cannot get chromecast to work.

Does anyone got chromecast working for movies?
