[Bug Report] Can't cast any video to Chromecast #4136

Open hecklawert opened 1 year ago

hecklawert commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug Every time I try to cast any video to Chromecast, the player hangs and doesn't play the video. Chromecast doesn't show any error; it only displays a cast icon. I've tried this with both HTTP and HTTPS, and I get the same error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to any video
  2. Click on ChromeCast Button
  3. Player hangs and doesn't play the video

Expected behavior Video should play at TV with Chromecast

Stash Version: (from Settings -> About): v0.22.1

Desktop:

Smartphone:

I also encounter this. Not sure why it happens. I have https, stash works normally. the chromecast worked once and then never again.

Edit: resolved my issue. chromecast is blocked when security login is made. Edit again. was not my issue

Trying v0.23. Bug is still present.

@hecklawert I resolved my issue. Do you have your stash on reverse proxy? I found that the issue was DNS. chromecast hardcodes 8.8.8.8 as it's DNS provider. I added a outbound NAT on my firewall to redirect 8.8.8.8 to my local dns and it resolved my issue (note that my local dns had my stash domain)

tl;dr it could be you need to either do what I did or make your domain public DNS.

@Eviepayne Thanks, I've finally able to fix it. As you said I was using a reverse proxy. To keep things simple I made some network changes and now I cast using the IP instead the domain

I have the same problem and I tried to change DNS to Google both in the router and windows. Didn't help. I am using Windows 10. YouTube casting works as normal.

The issue isnt what dns you use. Its that google doesnt know your hostname assuming you have a domain on it.

you have 2 options.

(Not recommended)

  1. publish the dns on the internet and make stash public facing.

(Recommended)

  1. In your router create a NAT rule that redirects requests from google to your own dns resolver.

For ex. in my opnsense firewall I redirect all DNS queries to my Opnsense (localhost) The DNS there is a recursor so I get internet published dns as well.

in your case you may want to only redirect 8.8.8.8 unless your dns server is a recursor as well.

To be as clear as I can. your chromecast needs to resolve the dns, http request to the right place and have permissions to view your stash.

if any of those fail you wont work.
