Cannot use Chromecast

Post by Pista »

Cannot play music at all using DLNA/UPnP or Chromecast to my Onkyo A/V receiver. MM shows music is playing but nothing is sent to receiver or displays on TV. Cannot play music to My Sony TV DLNA/UPnP or straight to the TV. MM shows music is playing but no sound. TV displays graphics for album art etc.. No muting anywhere. This started with install of MediaMonkey_5.0.3.2627. I was previously running MediaMonkey_5.0.3.2626_Debug without this particular issue. Music plays fine using internal player on laptop. If MM is idle (all stop) with setting at DLNA/UPnP and I adjust volume using MM volume slider, it adjusts the volume on the receiver while watching TV. Lol. Thank you.

And if you downgrade back to the version that worked, does it work again?

My apologies for not responding. I believe I have an A/V receiver issue. I haven't had time to work on but will this week. You may want to delete this post and if I have further issues I'll re post. Thank you. :(

Just FYI, Chromecast works fine for me using 2627.

Mine was quite fickle with earlier versions, but appears to be quite stable now.

This is playing to a Polk audio TV soundbar.
