Chromecast pause stops working during longer video playbacks.
Describe the bug
When casting longer content for a while (> 45mins or so) (to a Google Chromecast) and then trying to pause it the Chromecast does not respond to the pause request. The only way to stop it is to go into the "Google Home" app and press stop casting. The current watch progress is then usually lost as well.
This has been a problem since I started using Jellyfin over a year ago and affected my previous android phone as well. (My wife's phone is also affected).

Just to add I've noticed that the built in Jellyfin play/pause progress bar controls that appear at the bottom of the jellyfin window are only there for a few seconds and then disappear. After that point you can only use the limited android control that appears as a persistent notification until that stops working as well.
Also encountering this issue with jellyfin v10.8.9 running in Linux. Using Android 13 on a Pixel 6 and v2.4.4 of the jellyfin android app. Cast controls only seem to work for a few minutes before the progress indicator stops working and I'm unable to pause/ seek, either in the app or on the Android media control

I still have this issue all the time and playback on Chromecast is a real pain as you cannot pause or easily seek to different timestamps.
Same here, except I see this behaviour after 10 minutes or so. Casting from Android, server's Ubuntu 22.04.
Same issue with the following Jellyfin, Linux,10.8.13 Pixel 7 Pro, app version 2.6.0 Chromecast 2.1.0
Activity log seems to suggest the phone never remains connected for longer than 4 minutes.
