@ioannis Yes, post your full trace log as explained here (read carefully the 3 first posts)

Thanks. I think I see the problem. It doesn't seem to like the 10bit video. More specifically:

Code: Select all

The question is why? My Chromecast ultra config file contains this:

Code: Select all

videoBitDepth = 8,10

I'm attaching the logs too:

@ioannis Oups...i'm afraid to be the faulty one

Replace your renderer by this corrected one:

Google-ChromecastUltra.conf

In case of similar issue, disable subtitles from the "Transcoding Settings" tab, to test if it solve it.

Thank you for having taken the time to report it

It would be nice if you can confirm that it has fixed your issue. And again more nice if you could test 4K videos and give us feedback

Thanks Sami.

yes, that fixed the problem. I can also confirm that it works with 4K HEVC 10bit.

cheers,
ioannis
