Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to have a follow-up on this thread regarding my 2 last posts. Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I've been away. Regarding the android menu, I'm refering to the screen casting option in the general android menu (see attached picture). Let me start over. If I reboot my phone and open Poweramp, I have no chromecasting icon in Poweramp. If I open my android menu, enable the screen casting option (see attached picture), the chromecasting icon appears in Poweramp. With the screen casting option enabled in the android menu, I can play music from whatever app is open on my phone to the chromecast device (Including Poweramp). If I disable the screen casting option from android menu, then go back to Poweramp, Chromecasting icon of the Poweramp app is there but it doesn't work. For whatever reason the step described above is not required by VLC to access local music on phone. I immediately see / can chromecast after a reboot. As mentionned above by Andre and Motley G, I would much prefer having the higher quality audio to chromecast. However I would prefer having transcoded quality from Poweramp then nothing at all, hence my request for an option to default back to the standard way to chromecast. Thank you for all the help you are providing me to solve the issue

Would it be possible to have an option in Poweramp to use google default chromecasting settings? If I understand correctly Poweramp uses an alternatebl method to cast music.

Hi, 1) My device is a chromecast audio only device. I tried connecting it to my TV with the built-in HDMI port but the only image I get is the bose music logo. 2) My date & time are correct on router / cellphone 3) I tried network usage unmetered without success. 4) I also tried disabling adaptive connectivity without success. I did notice today that if I scroll down my android menu to find the casting option and start it, it makes the casting icon appear in Poweramp (because sometimes the casting icon doesn't appear immediately when I open Poweramp). I can then play music from Poweramp, but not from the casting icon in Poweramp, the android one... not sure if this affects quality somehow.

I sent my android log a few minutes ago. Please let me know if it you receive it, the file was around 20-25mb. Thank you for the help!

Where can I get this developer options <<full log>>. Is it within Poweramp? So if I understand correctly the chromecast device must be able to access https://cc.powerampapp.com. How can I make the device connect to that page? Is there a router parameter or else I can modify to change that? My computer and cellphone can access that website (I assume it' normal to only see Poweramp logo).

Hi all, Just found something out. Tried to stream local media from my pc to chromecast without succes. I didn't notice I had my VPN's firewall active. I just closed it, now I can stream from my PC to my chromecast device. Will try to look if something in Android phone is acting as a firewall... Any clues anyone?

Update to the issue. I'm attaching the log. I've also tried using ethernet cable between my built-in chrome cast device and router without success. Not sure what else I can try. poweramp_log

Sorry I'm not sure I understand, I have limited chrome cast / networking knowledge. Regarding connection issue, your saying that it's normal for VLC to access my local files while Poweramp is unable to chrome cast at all? (No chromecast Icon)? Both my apps are opened, VLC sees the chrome cast device, Poweramp doesn't. This would be because of the way VLC chrome casts? If so wouldn't the firewall rules apply to VLC as well? My network setup is a pair of Asus Zenwifi XD6. My 2.4 & 5Ghz band have the same SSID. Not sure I understand the firewall rules part either. Both my devices have a static IP reserved in my router.

Unfortunately the log is stamped for today only (february 15th). I don't have the chrome cast icon this morning, I'm trying to replicate so I can get a log but no luck so far

Hi, I'm having issues chrome casting Poweramp. I can chrome cast Spotify, Radioplayer just fine. It also works with VLC for local files on the cellphone. While using Poweramp I have the 2 following issues : 1) No Chromecast icon or 2) Chromecast icon is there, if I click on it to start chrome casting it seems to connect, song seems to play for 1-2 seconds without sound then stops. I have never used chrome cast before, so I cannot say if it's a bug of a particular Poweramp version, android related, etc. Poweramp build# 945 Poweramp build#945 Devices : Pixel 6a chrome casting to a Bose Smart Soundbar 900 (with built-in Chrome Cast) I can also reproduce with a PIxel 6 Android 13 (stock) I'm trying to send a log after I connect to my speaker however the chrome casting logo is gone so not sure if the log is still relevent now, will send one if I'm able to connect later.
