Could be an unsupported audio codec. Does this happen on all files? You could try running the file through: https://github.com/petrkotek/chromecastize

thanks.... it works but...

working on .mp4 with x264 codec
not working with AVC and DTS audio format. Still testing with other formats.... May I ask: Is there a list for compatible audio and video formats? thaks you very much

I think this is a Chromecast problem in general, not specific to Playback. Also it's mentioned in the Chromecastize script: https://github.com/petrkotek/chromecastize/blob/master/chromecastize.sh#L7-L16

Chromecast is meant for very basic video and audio.

Don't expect real HD quality video and sound any time soon.

Like peter mentioned, it does not support high-quality codecs like DTS.

Audio also not working in .mkv extensions (normal playback)

support high-quality codecs like DTS

@war59312 do you know of any alternatives to chromecast that support high-quality codecs?
