What device Models (Phone and Chromecast)?

Also if you put Device on charging, set No display off on charger, keep MMA as front app do you observe same issue?

This is also still happening to me using Mediamonkey 1.3.4.0844.

I still have problems streaming music from MMA (version 1.3.2.0824) from my VZW Samsung Galaxy S9+ to my Chromecast Ultra.

It's very erratic. It feels like a connection problem because the MMA mini-app still displays on the TV screen. Other times the music keeps playing, at least for a minute or two, even though MMA says that the connection has been lost. Attempting to reconnect to Chromecast just makes things more fubar.

The one thing that connects my problem to the current thread is that the disconnect almost always occurs at the end of a song.

In the way of problem isolation, I note that neither Plex (version 7.6.0.7019) nor Netflix (version 6.11.0 build 29552) have this problem; it seems to be isolated to MMA.

Has there been any progress root causing this issue?

I have this problem intermittently on my Samsung Tab S4, and I think it is something to do with 'Power Saving' mode or battery optimisation. The problem started again suddenly last night, and I turned off Power Saving mode about fifteen minutes ago, and now the problem appears to have stopped.

Hi,
You should also try using latest <MMA beta and see if that fixes the problem, as we were done some optimization chromecasting.

Send a debug log (from About) right after you have an issue and reply here with the logID.

Is this issue solved? I still experience problems. Casting stops after one song. Galaxy S7 MMA version 1.3.1.0745 MediaMonkey Pro

More chromecast tweaks/fixes are coming.

FWIW I'm still having massive Chromecasting problems with the hardware listed above to the point that I've basically given up using it except to test and make sure each new version still flakes out on me like the last one did. I'm glad it doesn't seem like everyone is still having these problems, but I am.

For me this is fixed with 1.3.1.711.
Casting does not stop after each track anymore.
Testet with Samsung Galaxy S7 + Denon AVR-X4100W and NVIDIA Shild TV as cast receivers.

I have a similar problem. I can cast 3 or 4 songs before MMA just stops playing songs but is still connected. I can continue playing manually, but it will stop again after a few songs.

Thanks for the followup. With extended testing, I was able to replicate the problem with a Nexus 5x. Tracked at:

[quote="rusty"]I can't replicate this with a Nexus 7 / Android 7.1.2 or S5 Mini / Android 6, but we'll look into the logs.

btw, does the problem happen with all types of audio files or just specific ones (e.g. mp3, m4a, flac, etc).

Thanks.

I only have mp3s (mostly all VBR if it matters) on my phone. No other formats. Hope the logs help, because the problem persists on my end.

Also, and I haven't sent a log on this, if I do manage to get it going beyond 1 song, the third or fourth song usually displays no data on the Chromecast (video). The screen just goes blank - no cover image, no metadata, nothing.

Like I said on a previous post, I went walking with headphones plugged into the phone for about an hour one day last week and none of these playback problems happened. Seems to be entirely related to the Chromecasting implementation. I get huge problems with both a video Chromecast (the original one) and also my Chromecast Audio.

I can't replicate this with a Nexus 7 / Android 7.1.2 or S5 Mini / Android 6 or S5 / Android 7, but we'll look into the logs.

Also, can you confirm that other apps that support Chromecasting work correctly (I wonder if it could be a problem with the device or a networking issue)?

Thanks.

LOG ID: LOL

No, really, LOG ID: 5Q32YR6W7Z

After above, tried again. First song played. Second song played but Chromecast icon showed up as disconnected. Reconnected. Second song continued playing for about 15 seconds and then stopped playing with a loud squeal. MMA then started cycling through the playlist showing (on the phone) "{Song Title} Skipped as it is unsupported by the receiver" for all of my entirely supported MP3s.
