Hello @edgework (@rorie recommended I post here),
For the past couple months I have been having intermittent issues streaming Giantbomb videos to my Chromecast 2.
I use the Giantbomb Video Buddy app and the Luchadeer app on my Android phone/tablet. I know you guys only support the API and have nothing to do with the Chromecast streaming itself, but I'm wondering if it could be a bandwidth or encoding issue on your end. I have no problems streaming anything else to my Chromecast and my internet/home network are properly setup. Also, watching HTML5 videos from the GB website is fine and does not have any of those issues.
The buffering seems to happen after watching a video for over 20 minutes. Everything is fine and then it starts to stutter as it tries to buffer. I can't confirm this for sure, but it seems to happen almost entirely when watching GBEAST videos. Could it be that they use a higher bitrate when encoding and that the Chromecast can not keep up or that it is more taxing on your bandwidth?
The last time it happened was Sunday when I was watching the latest Phantasmagoria Playdate.
I'm sorry I don't have more definitive info. I just wanted to know if you are aware of the issue and/or have a solution.
Thank you, @pozo
