One Particular Video won't play via Chromecast

Hey everyone,

Not sure if anyone here would have any ideas on this, but I figured it's worth a shot.

I have a bunch of videos, some I made in Vegas Pro, some others have made for me in whatever they use and sent to me. I put them on Youtube. They all stream to my TV Via Chromecast fine.

However my new video (which someone sent to me), plays great on Youtube on the computer / phone, but on Chromecast, it stops 25 seconds in and says there was an error playing the video.

Here's where things get weird. I imported the video into Vegas Pro. Added a picture of my album cover to the end of it, so it's technically a new video. Exported at my render settings that I normally use for a 1080p mp4 video, so it's a totally different video than what was originally sent to me... And it stops at the same 25 second mark.

Now one thing to add is that the video is set to private on Youtube since I haven't released it yet. But I have played my own Private videos before over Chromecast without a problem. It's just this video.

Any ideas where I could look for some kind of encoding problem that this video could have?

Thank you.

Alright, it turns out the issue was because the video is private. Weird because I've played Private videos over Chromecast before... But making this one Public fixed it, and making others Private broke them... So I guess you just can't do that anymore?
