It seems like a lot of these third-party device implementations are using the same variant, perhaps it's based on some Google-supplied toolkit?

maxmp Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 New Chromecast build is pushed (no need to update Poweramp). It should fix issue with Chrome 62 devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Max, my Onkyo amp is now working fine with PA's Chromecast output after this latest update, how about everyone else? Still no cover art via the TV display though - which works fine with Google Play Music - but the audio is much more important as most of the time my TV will be off while listening to music anyway.

You will only see information pertaining to the currently active output device. You need to be at least temporarily connected to the Chromecast device to see its reported status info, I'm not sure why you can't scroll down any further though, perhaps the device is not returning any data?

Poweramp tries to minimize overhead and avoid processing images if device reports it has no display. As I understand, while technically there is no display in receiver, the connected TV is still able to show interface, meaning that display flag is wrongly set to false for your receiver.

Andre In that case, seems my speakers are not able to connect at all with Power AMP. but on the same phone, I am using these Polk speakers without any issue. i notice for some time Poweramp show connected with speakers but no audio and at that time I get the metadata which I posted but within a few seconds speakers get disconnected.

Have you tried since Max updated the interface for Chrome 62, which a lot of external third-party Chromecast receivers seem to use? Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's exactly the situation. It's an AV surround receiver/amp, so while you can easily use it for audio-only without the TV being turned on, it usually works via an on-screen menu system when the TV is on. Perhaps a simple override option in the PA Chromecast Settings menu to force artwork to be sent regardless of whether the device says it needs it? Could be a three-way switch - Always, Never, or Auto. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the Poweramp/phone software that is causing many of the issues discussed in this thread, it is the firmware contained in the actual Chromecast receiver itself. Original Google Chromecast devices normally update themselves via the internet, but third-party built-in implementations may be much older and are less likely to be able to be so easily updated. Poweramp now also supports the fairly old Chrome version 62, which seems to be the variant featured in a lot of third party amps, speakers, etc. You would need to find what software variant is included in your external device. You can manually update Poweramp earlier than the automated Play Store releases by the way, using the builds provided in the Downloads tab on this site. Currently 826 is the latest. The next (827) will include some further minor Chromecast mods, but not sure if they will affect you. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma776 Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 I cannot seem to be able to cast to a home mini, it uses version 73 and all it does pause once you hit play, no sound at all, using the latest beta version of Poweramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
