Streaming to Chromecast breaks after a couple of minutes

Streaming to Chromecast was working great until I updated my system about a month ago. Now it will play for 1 - 5 minutes before stopping.

The logs switch from:

stream_out_chromecast debug: Player state: PLAYING sessionId: 1

to:

stream_out_chromecast debug: Player state: IDLE sessionId: 1

and then spams:

stream_out_chromecast warning: httpd buffer full: dropping 2270B

afterwards the log shows:

mkv warning: find KaxCues FIXME
mkv debug: MKV/Ebml Parser: m_el[mi_level] == NULL
mkv warning: EOF
mkv warning: cannot get block EOF?
avformat debug: removing input

main debug: nothing to play
qt debug: IM: Deleting the input
dbus debug: Getting property Position
stream_out_chromecast debug: PING received from the Chromecast

which may or may not be relative as the stream has already stopped.

Similar issue reported here:

• #24573
• #22541 but in my case it's from streaming a local file (tried with multiple file formats).

All this worked fine until recently, it also works fine on the same computer from the Windows Partition. I tried using git master (about a month ago) with no luck, and I updated my system again today which also has the issue.

Not sure if it is a issue in VLC or an issue with my system. Looking for some guidance on where to debug next.
