Hi, I have been experimenting with this, however I get the following error: Do you happen to know how to solve it? I have ffmpeg installed.

PLAYING | 0:00 [________________________________________________] 1:57 | Vol: 40%

    Error code: 102
    Media Decode Error.

Using castr-convert instead gives straight up an error, no explanation:

Apparently the video is not compatible, although it is plain mp4. Doing the following works:

./castr http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4

MP4 is just the container. It's possible to put both compatible an not compatible media inside it.

Mi TV Stick might be sensitive to correct encoder settings also. The chromecast device seems to be, and the converter script is very basic so I just tried out some settings that seems to be working. Try using that file without the converter script. Did you get any local files to play on that stick?
