Possible problem with Chromecast feature [#18152]

Post by cbeschler »

I'm loving the new RC-6. However, I just discovered what may be a problem with the Chromecast feature. Specifically, I streamed a song to my Bose Sound Bar using the Chromecast feature. The song ended; however the MM5 time bar at the bottom kept bouncing back to one second, then to zero, then back to one second, etc. To stop this, I had to turn off the Chromecast feature. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this.

Hi,
That sounds a lot like a problem with communication MM <-> Bose.

Can you please Create debug log, using latest MM5 release, ZIP it and attach it to support ticket so that we can analyze?

Debug log (step 4b) instructions: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

Is playback supposed to finish at the end of this song or is it expected to switch to the next song?

I tried Chromecast through the Sound Bar again tonight, with the same result. That is, instead of playing the next song, it cycles between o seconds and 1 second until I stop it. I would love to send a debug log. However, I read the instructions and have a question on how to do it. I've installed MM5 1.2422.exe, not _Debug.exe. Do I have to install _Debug.exe to create the debug log? If so, will it change the setup I currently have in MM5?

Yes, you need to install the debug version, and you install it just like any update on top of the existing install. Once you're using the debug version of MediaMonkey, DebugView will be able to capture all that you're doing in MediaMonkey so the developers can analyze why this is happening in your setup.

I followed the instructions above (installed MM5 2422_debug.exe) as well as downloaded DebugView. I have reproduced the error and sent the debug log named CHRIS-PC.LOG MM5 Chromecast.LOG. I received a confirmation that you have received it via ticket # 2133. Hope this helps.

Best regards, Chris

Can you please try with 2427 and let us know if it fixed the problem?
