Thank you, Lowlander. I did update to 5.0.1.2422 and I'm still getting an error message, which reads "Playback failed: Living Room stereo (Chromecast Ultra) cannot decode uuid://*.m4a.

I will send a debug log to you via PM.

Hi, based on the uuid:// prefix it looks that you are trying to cast a track from DLNA/UPnP server that is no longer accessible on your local network (to translate uuid:// to http://...)

Supposing that ticket #2130 is yours and analyzing the log I see that you was casting a file from a DLNA server (as http://192.168.86.22:50002/m/NDLNA/876773.m4a )

Your "Chromecast Ultra" sent: {"requestId":1,"type":"LOAD_FAILED","detailedErrorCode":104,"itemId":1}

Based on the detailedErrorCode 104 it is that the media type was not suitable: https://developers.google.com/android/r ... dErrorCode

Solution could be to set up auto-conversion, but currently the auto-conversion works only for tracks served by MM5 server, but you are serving track from a third party server ( http://192.168.86.22:50002/m/NDLNA/876773.m4a ) -- not sure whether the third party server supports transcoding though?

Ahh, ok, seeing your previous replies on the forum you are serving from NAS.

So the issue is that you added the track into MM5 library from the NAS DLNA/UPnP server and not as UNC paths.

Adding it as UNC paths (like //NAS/...) will resolve your issue -- as such a track will be served by MM5 server and transcoded accordingly according to the default Chromecast auto-convert rules.
