    Jellyfin Forum Support Troubleshooting Chromecast HD not requesting transcoding for a 4K video, IF it has HDR10

    Chromecast HD not requesting transcoding for a 4K video, IF it has HDR10

    When attempting to play a 4K HDR10 file on my Chromcast HD (non 4K) Google TV, it tries to direct play and fails after repeated attempts. A non HDR 4K succesfully requests to be transcoded down to 1080p and plays fine.

    Thank you both, I have attached media info for stepbrothers, as well has the ffmpeg transcode log for when I get it to play by setting a low max bitrate.

    I cannot find a 2160p HDR 5.1 file. However I am now noticing that any 4k HDR file I own is also 7.1, wheras the non HDR 4K files tend to be 5.1

    Because of this I definitely think you're right, it must be the audio causing the issue and not whether it is HDR or not!

    It was the audio! I've checked "Downmix to stereo" in the playback settings of the Chromecast app and everything is playing perfectly. This is fine for me as I use the chromecast in the bedroom with a soundbar.

    Thank you very much to the both of you for helping me get to the bottom of this. The Jellyfin community is amazing!
