Originally created by @N-kay on GitHub (Nov 14, 2020).

Describe the bug
Unpausing playback on a chromecast device causes stream to freeze after a few seconds. Stopping and restarting the stream works, no need to reconnect to the Chromecast. But Jellyfin has now forgotten the playback progress, making this issue very annoyig. Playback needs to be paused for a little bit for this to happen. Immediate pause -> unpause works fine.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Archlinux
  • Virtualization: whole OS
  • Clients: Browser, Android, Chromecast
  • Browser: Chrome 86
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.6.4
  • Playback: Not sure how this is handled while casting.
  • Installed Plugins: OpenSubitles, Trakt
  • Reverse Proxy: nginx
  • Base URL: none
  • Networking: Remote host
  • Storage: local (on remote host)

To Reproduce

  1. Connect Jellyfin to Chromecast device using Browser or Android
  2. Play anything
  3. Pause
  4. Wait a little bit
  5. Unpause
  6. Wait until stream crashes and burns

Expected behavior
Stream keeps playing.

Logs
Just a snippet, let me know if more is needed.

I also encounter this bug but with HaProxy. Any progress with this issue? It's manageable but it's far from ideal. Do we know a workaround? Can some reverse proxy settings help mitigate this for the time being?

This is still happening for me; for a bit of extra info, it happens only on stuff that requires a transcode. Anything the CC can play natively is fine.

I can resume it by seeking backwards a few seconds, but this leaves two ffmpeg transcode processes running.

Oh that's helpful, I was wondering why usage was up.

I'm also having this issue, I would really like to investigate but need to learn more first. Will peek around the logs to see if anything obvious jumps out.

Jellyfin running behind ngnix reverse proxy, https only.
