Chromecast support not working

[mynameisfiber]

I'm trying to use the chromecast functionality and it just isn't working. When I click the chromecast button, my chromecast shows the subsonic logo. Then one of two things happens depending on whether I'm playing video or audio:

- If I am trying to cast a video, this is as far as it'll get. I can try pressing play on the video, but that will just play the audio form the video locally on my laptop and the chromecast remains at the logo page.

- If i'm trying to cast audio, I'll get a loading screen on the chromecast but it'll never go further than that. The filename on the loading page will track what is going on in subsonic (ie: if I click another track, the loading page will update with that track's name), but it'll never actually play audio. Additionally, I can generally only get this far if I go into the subsonic settings page and delete all players that currently exist (strange!).

The install I have is using the following dockerfile -- https://github.com/mschuerig/docker-subsonic. Port 4040 is bound to the host and on the same subnet as the chromecast (but all other ports are on lockdown). The only thing I can think of is that the chromecasting functionality needs another port exposed as well.

Any thoughts?

Verified..same experience here. Hadn't noticed it because I've been using DSub on my Nexus 6!

Any clue how to fix this?

Hello,

I am experiencing the same symptoms.

I have upgraded to the latest server, used a self sign SSl cert, go daddy cert, and http all with the same result ( I thought I read somewhere that chromecast had to be https?).

I have also flushed all my iptables rules in case they were interfering.

I am hosting subsonic on a Ubuntu 14.04 server.

If anyone has any tips or help that would be great!

Thanks
Dan

Hello,

I have had a small breakthrough this evening in trying out different things to get video streaming and chromecast working.

I decided to bypass the Apache reverse proxy, and everything started working! I haven't yet tried it over SSL but un encrypted traffic works fine.

Is anyone aware of how I may start to troubleshooting my Apache setup? I like being able to put everything through Apache and my SSL certs.

Thanks
Dan
