            QUESTION

            Some videos fail to chromecast with error MEDIA_UNKNOWN
            Asked 2020-Jun-01 at 20:06

            Using mkchromecast to cast local mp4 files, some videos work, and some don't (as in: the screen hangs on the blue chromecast logo, suggesting that the initial connection worked). I can reproduce exactly the issue described here.

            So I decided to go one level lower, with pychromecast, and try to see what actually happens when it hangs on the blue logo. I converted two videos to HLS format, and exposed them through an http server. The video that works with mkchromecast also works with my setup, but the one that fails, well... fails on both. With pychromecast, I don't get much more information than:

            ERROR, code 100: MEDIA_UNKNOWN.

            From the Cast documentation, this error means:

            The media element encountered an unknown error fired from platform. The media element encountered an error that did not indicate it's one of MediaError.MEDIA_ERR_*. This should be rare.

            It is not rare for me at all, though. I thought that maybe the failing video was in an unsupported format, as described in the documentation. So I tried to compare both videos with the following command:

            ...

            It does not like 5.1 channel layout. Try downmixing it to stereo:
