Chromecast 3rd generation can't play 4K video #1216

Open programminghoch10 opened 8 months ago

Describe the bug

The Chromecast 3rd generation (non-ultra) can't play 4K video. When playing 4K video, the server sends 4K content (as can be seen in the servers transcode log), yet the chromecast stays stuck at a black screen.

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/media#chromecast_3rd_gen Maybe it would be possible to add some kind of detection mechanism to lower the resolution to what is supported by the respective chromecast version.

This issue still persists. 4K video has to be transcoded down to be played on 1080p chromecasts.
