Summary0017376: Music video is casted as audio
DescriptionDebugging why a video file is casted as audio to Chromecast here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=476745#p476745

It was shown that if type = 'Music video' the file is casted as audio only.
Workaround is to change the type to 'Video' in MM5 > Properties

The technical reason is that MM5 served the https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/messages#MusicTrackMediaMetadata for the 'Music video' which is causing that the Chromecast plays the file as audio only then (even when "contentType":"video/mp4" is specified)

Solution is to serve https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/reference/messages#MovieMediaMetadata for the Music Video.
The only downside is that that album/artist info is not shown on playback start.
