Thanks for the updates, Michael.

Did you make changes to the way shortcut URL's work? As of this version, my old shortcuts to playlists and radio stations still launch the player, but they no longer select or play the item.

I'm on iOS 15.5, iPhone Xs

Thanks!

Yeah, I managed to break the shortcut URLs completely with this version
There is a fixed version with Apple, so within a day or two there should be a new version available.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Michael; it looks like Chromecast support isn't working for the last couple of releases. I can see devices listed, but they are greyed out and won't select. I was using that feature daily prior to the upgrade.

I've also verified that I can stream normally to any of those same devices from other audio apps.

Thanks,

Chasmo

I'll get around to updating the Chromecast SDK soon - hopefully it's a minor thing.

Cheers,
Michael
