From reading duplicates of this issue, it seems to usually be a network error. Your Chromecase is not able to access your server to receive the media.

Make sure you’ve read: Casting issues with Chromecast or UPnP | Symfonium Docs

Try Proxy mode and see if it fixes your issue.

Thank you! That put me on the right track. I use WireGuard to get into my network and this was enough of a hint for me to figure it out.

For anyone who stumbles across this, here’s what worked for me.

When you are on your LAN, make sure that symphonium is using your server’s local IP address and that WireGuard is turned OFF on your phone.

When you are on your WAN, turn on wire guard.
