Temporary playback error on Chromecast, not on Roku - WoodyBABL - 2025-10-14
Started to play downloaded episode of a show. On Chromecast, I get a "Player Encountered Error. Will retry" on my Chromecast with Google TV in the first few seconds. It retries and then plays fine. I tried my old Roku Express and it played without that issue. Which log should I be looking at and what sort of line should I be looking for that would report that error?
