Missing Chromecast support?

Postby rage4order » Sun Oct 23, 2016 2:33 pm

Up until recently, there was always a Chromecast icon in the bottom playback pane of the Subsonic webapp, which allowed me to cast the playback to one of my Googlecast enabled devices. I just noticed that this is now gone. I can still cast the entire tab by clicking on the cast icon in the upper right corner of the screen, but this is sub-optimal since it casts the screen as well and wastes a lot of bandwidth. I have a suspicion that this problem may be caused by Google's recent integration of Googlecast into Chrome, but that's just a hunch. Is this a known problem, or am I overlooking something obvious?

Yes, this is caused because Chrome in a recent update changed how Chromecast works, and code written for the older way (which used an extension, now permanently disabled by Google) stopped working. This happened *just* after the 6.0 upgrade. The app will need to be fixed to work with the new way (it may just be a tiny change, I couldn't say). I'm sure that's on the future "6.1" upgrade, but there's been little feedback on when that is coming.
