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.

I will if i dont forget. Feel free to remind me.

I was reading other comments as well. You can also disable transcoding on the client side, the video will not play at all if transcoding is required. Also try disabling subtitles, sometimes subtitles require transcoding for some reason (don't know why tho).

it's all directplay, transcoding is disabled server-side and the server logs are the same as when other devices at that location play something. I'll keep digging.
