The CODEC is supported by your chromecast, but the color depth is not. It supports 8-bit color but not 10-bit color. The file name did not include any specifics about color depth so that can't be relied on.

There are tools to re-encode videos. Handbrake is one. I think tdarr can semi-automate this.
