Jellyfin on Chromecast keeps stopping mid-episode

[ram]

This has been a big pain for me, but I keep having an issue where reliably, during playback, the Chromecast pauses playback to buffer endlessly. For the particular file I'm examining the problem with, playback's freezing at 00:05:13, which, visually, appears to be the last frame of the transcoded segment. This, however, has been a problem with different video files from different media sources.

To attempt to resolve the issue, I:
- End the Chromecast Session
- Reset episode progress
- Shut down Jellyfin
- Allow ffmpeg to finish its transcoding session
- Delete the transcoding session
- Start Jellyfin
- Start the Chromecast Session
- Begin playback from the episode
- Wait for 00:05:13 to appear again

The logs for my Jellyfin: https://pastebin.com/aJmG5Rdi
The logs for the FFmpeg.DirectStream: https://pastebin.com/xMbUvKwW
These logs are from after the previous procedure was followed, and logs were cleared / reset.

Thanks for any help!!

Your server and ffmpeg logs look fine.

What model Chromecast is this?

It's a Chromecast Ultra (two different ones, even)

For all the videos you are having issues with, does it always fail at 5:13 into the video?

No it's at different points in the videos and often multiple times throughout the playback

Can you try remuxing one of these files and try the new file? This does not require re-encoding.

Open a command prompt and run this command.

Code:

ffmpeg -fflags +genpts+igndts -i "E:\Live Action Shows\Doctor Who (2005) [tvdbid-78804]\Season 10\Doctor.Who.2005.S10E01.The.Pilot.720p.BluRay.DD.5.1.x264-DON.mkv" -codec copy -avoid_negative_ts make_zero -max_muxing_queue_size 2048 -max_interleave_delta 0 "E:\newFile.mkv"
