Chromecast issue with YouTube TV

[LunaFennec]

Grabber works fine in UI and things like plex and spotify clips... however in youtube TV it seems to only show 3-4 frames before looping them and becoming stuck. This only happens as the mobile release youtube sideloaded on the chromecast works fine.
When the frames are looping the ui still shows fine through the hyperion live view- however the media itself is still looping.

Have the same problem on the Chromecast 4K with the Jellyfin for Android TV app

After some research it seems that the problem exists when there is a video player, and then only for this. For me, the youtube player bar is updating, but the video in the background is looping.

Okay, I did even more research alongside managing to compile this in Intellij Idea.

I added some code that computes the hash of the buffer that is being sent and for 500 samples, there are about 9 unique hashes when the problem occurs, meaning the send function already is getting bad data. Thing is, this is called basically directly by this: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/ImageReader.OnImageAvailableListener

My setup right now is doing it with hyper-tizen, although that one has HDR issues when the source is HDMI. So it's fine for a game console (where this project can't help anyways) but for watching movies on this it would probably be better also installing it on the Chromecast.

I once tried running the grabber in an emulated tv on my laptop, there it worked fine. However, that one had much newer android version available. (I think it was >=12 or even >=14)
