![]() If you know otherwise please tell me how to do that. I don't believe it is possible to install 3rd party software on a Chromecast device. I am afraid I have no idea how to do what you are suggesting. That's assuming we are in fact talking about the same device, similar to this: Personally, I'd think of actual "Chrome Cast" support as last resort use when better ways aren't available. So what I are saying is use ChromeCast to the older device and if really needed "Cast to Emby running on Google TV" for the new model when you can't use it's other input interfaces for direct control. Streaming will almost always be better with more control and features using it directly or via app communication then over the minimal API Chromecast. You can use new more modern communication features such as installing Emby on it and besides direct usage, can also allow Emby Clients to directly talk to each other similar to CC but with a better feature set, not to mention voice and hand-held remote. ![]() It includes Google Assist and can be linked to Google Home (Emby can use this also) or even Alexa (same for Emby). You have full Android TV type ability to run apps directly on it. You have a device that's a Google TV (similar to Android TV) that is meant to run apps directly on the device giving you far more features and abilities. I get that but it seems like you're missing out on what your device can really do and have settled on using the minimum feature set it has in common with the older CC version. Stopped playback, switched to Gen 1 Chromecast and did *exact same steps at exact same playback clock time*, and jumping ahead worked fine. Video jumped ahead 30 seconds and froze, while time bar jumped back to 0:00 and started advancing at normal speed, all Emby playback controls now unusable.ĥ. At about minute 3:00 of playback, I tried to skip ahead 30 seconds using Emby's skip buttonĤ. Immediately started playback of mkv video file on ChromecastHDwGTVģ. As here are the screencaps and log files showing the whole frustrating situation. In any of these cases, it's ideal if you have all your media on a computer or NAS, on a shared network drive (You can simply "share" a folder to create this, or use a more elaborate setup).Īlternatively, for option 2: You can plug an external USB HDD into the streaming box, and stream content off the HDD.įor Option 3: You can use an external USB HDD like above, or simply use the internal HDD.Emby still isn't able to properly control playback of mkv files on ChromecastHDwGTV, although Emby works fine playing and controlling the same file to a gen 1 Chromecast. Computer - sounds silly, but if you happen to have a spare PC lying around (doesn't need to be particularly beefy), that has HDMI, you can just use that. Roku 3/Apple TV/WD Live TV - streaming boxes are much like streaming sticks, but have a bit more oompf (power) to them, and have an honest to god remote control - they also have WIFI and Ethernet (Streaming sticks are generally wifi only) - Personally, I'm a big fan of the Roku devices.ģ. Chromecast - personally, I'm not a huge fan of these streaming sticks, as they require the use of a smartphone or tablet as the remote. Im not too familiar with devices or boxes that are peripherals to the tvġ. Tv cant play the mkv codec and its a pain the ass converting files into other formats for my parents
