CSJ Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I have three audio Chromecast devices. However Poweramp only finds two of them. This is consistent across three Android devices: Huawei table, ZTE tablet, and Pixel 4a phone. Other music player apps on those devices do find and play to all three. Why doesn't Poweramp find all three? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 You haven't said what devices, and which get missed? Check to see that Settings > Audio > Output > Open SL ES > Other Output Devices is enabled. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSJ Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share Posted October 12, 2020 The settings are as you suggested. Playing devices - Huawei M5 Lite, ZTE tablet, Google Pixel 4A On all these devices Poweramp does not recognize one of three audio Chromecasts. It is the same Chromecast for all three devices GoneMAD, Media Monkey, roon and the default music player all recognize all three devices The question is not why doesn't Poweramp recognize Chromecast, the question is why doesn't Poweramp recognize one particular Chromecast when it recognizes others. All three Chromecasts are exactly the same and have the same settings. Note that Poweramp fails to recognize the Chromecast in question even when the device playing Poweramp (M5, ZTE or 4a) is right next to the Chromecast.

andrewilley Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 What is the software version of the Chromecast unit that Poweramp cannot see? Is it different from the other two? Physical distance is irrelevant, the connection is via your local wi-fi WLAN. It might be worth unpairing the rogue device from your network and then re-connecting it?

CSJ Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 The firmware version of all three Chromecast units are the same. As far as I can tell, all the settings for all three units are the same, except for those that should differ (MAC address and IP address which differ on all three). What is so different about Poweramp that it won't recognize a Chromecast unit that is recognized - and played to - by other music player apps on the same phone or tablet?

andrewilley Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 You say all three chromecast devices are identical, and with identical firmware, but the same two are always shown in PA's list and the third one is always omitted? Clutching at straws here, but what happens if you unpair the troublesome one and re-connect it to your network as a fresh device with a different name? Otherwise I think we might need @maxmp to help us out with this one. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSJ Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 You'll appreciate that since the unit that Poweramp doesn't recognize works just fine with many other players I am unwilling to disrupt things just to see if Poweramp would recognize it. It would be better if Poweramp were usable with all Chromecasts, but I can live with another player if it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
