GeilerHeinz Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Since updating to Build 912 Album Art isn't sent to Chromecast device no more. I'm experiencing this on an Lenovo Tab TB-8705F with Android 10. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I can’t reproduce this with either 912 or 914, but the underlying cast libs and dependencies were upgraded and anything can happen. Does it happen for all tracks or some specific ones? What is the chromecast device? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeilerHeinz Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 It happens with all tracks and also streams. The Chromecast devices are two Harman Kardon Citation 500 and one Citation 300. Regards By the way I also tested Chromecast streaming with Spotify. There album art is sent to the devices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeilerHeinz Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 I just tested streaming to my Chromecast stick plugged to the smart TV. It works fine, album art is sent to the TV. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I've just checked with my old Chromecast 1 plugged into a TV, using a Galaxy A70 Android 11 and PA build 914. Album art displays correctly on the TV as I change tracks. I tried about 100 songs randomly (some with properly embedded art, some with PA downloaded images) and everything worked fine. I did find one single song (with downloaded art) that showed as blank initially during skipping through, but it worked when I manually selected the track. I put it down to some sort of random file or caching issue. Looks like it might be something specific to your devices, which would be hard to track down. Are the images embedded or downloaded for your songs? Do you have Settings -> Audio -> Output -> Chromecast Output -> Force Send Album Art enabled?

Solution GeilerHeinz Posted December 12, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted December 12, 2021 Thanks Andre. Force Send Album Art did the trick. Before I only tried checking/unchecking the different options in settings -> album art -> advanced tweaks. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 @GeilerHeinz Excellent. Not all Chomecast devices transmit the correct announcements to say that they can handle images, and that setting overrides what they say they can handle and sends the artwork anyway.
