Chromecast Audio

[p2ranger]

Ever since "upgrading" to Andriod 7, Dsub has not been cooperating. I have a chromecast audio that used to be able to cast to from Dsub on Android 6.x. Now that I'm on 7, it doesn't want to play anything. I am able to cast to the device using a podcast player, so it seems to be something with Dsub.

Thanks

Is it failing to cast or is Chromecast not showing up as option to cast to in the first place?

[p2ranger]

Failing to cast. The play button becomes a stop button

Immediately after it fails to cast can you send me a log via Home tab -> Send Logs?

Sent

And of course the error is completely worthless:

Code: Select all

Failed to load: Status{statusCode=unknown status code: 2100, resolution=null}

I hate Google sometimes. Do you happen to have anything not on Android 7 to double check that it is actually broken because of the OS upgrade and not due to some other related change which happened around the same time?

I used my nexus 4 on 4.4.4. It worked. Stupid Google

[p2ranger]

any updates?

Can you make sure to force restart your Chromecast? So far you are still the only one reporting this issue and I still don't really know how to fix without any idea why it is giving that error in the first place.

Also looking back your the old email thread I asked: "Have you made sure that it doesn't work with the outside visible address? I know others have had issues with Chromecast forcing the use of it's own DNS service causing issues in the past." and didn't get a response.

My apologies for not interacting with you on a quicker time scale. Busy

I got a new Nexus 6P, I factory reset the chromecast, I created a new server within Dsub that only had a local address but still pointed towards my regular server, and I still can not get it to play. I did get it to play eventually after force closing the app after it froze up, but I no longer had the ability to control it in Dsub as it just played on its own.

I'm not quite sure what you mean about making sure it doesn't work with the the outside visible address? I'm assuming when I added a new server in Dsub with a local only address would apply to that

I am able to cast from my Doggcatcher podcasting app.

I found my issue

I needed to change how I had my local address listed for my server. Using just the IP address for the server when casting locally worked. I had it listed as the name of the computer instead of the IP. Not sure why that doesn't work as everything else I use on my local network when I refer to that server I just use the name of the computer. Like you said it may have something to do with the way the chromecast uses DNS lookups.

Maybe this will help someone else
