Sometimes in other apps too. Not serious, but puzzling. Perhaps you did setup your devices twice in Google home app? Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asphalt45 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 22 hours ago, asphalt45 said: I use the cast feature a lot as my home theatre sound system doesn't have Bluetooth. Worked great until today. Normal working case: I tap the cast button Select my TV The TV screen momentarily goes blank The Poweramp logo appears with a small loading circle on the bottom. The album art loads The audio starts playing The seek bar readjusts on the TV and on the phone to show the correct position. All is well... Not working case: I tap the cast button Select my TV The TV screen goes blank and stays blank! Nothing loads, no logo, no audio. The app on the phone shows the seek bar moving. The chromecast output is also active. Things I've tried: On the phone: Rebooted Uninstalled Poweramp and reinstalled. On the TV: Force stopped the built in chromecast app. Uninstalled updates Reinstalled updates Cleared cache and data for the chromecast app and restarted TV. On the network: Restarted my router Turned off every other device on the network Tried a different WiFi network. Tried the cast while being connected to the phone's Hotspot. Why I think the issue is with Poweramp: Because every other app is behaving as it should while casting. The Google home app can cast the phone screen without any problems. A video in a chrome tab can be casted successfully. Casting chrome tabs and YouTube content works from two of my other PC's on the same network. Extra info: There were no other changes. There were no system updates to neither the phone nor the TV. I don't remember the last time Poweramp updated. But the cast was working fine this morning. There were/are no other accessories connected to the TV. The TV did not experience any sudden power loss in the last 48hrs. (even if it did, it wouldn't matter) The TV is an Iffalcon (by TCL) Android TV running Android 9. The cast feature worked really good until now all of a sudden. And I've tried everything. Any help is greatly appreciated! The cast functionality is suddenly working again!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Williams Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) Works for me now also, thanks. I enjoying casting the audio Bible at home. Edited March 17, 2022 by Ben Williams just saying home ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeller Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 14 hours ago, maxmp said: Ok, it should work now (no update to Poweramp is needed). The investigation shown some server misconfiguration related to ssl certificates. "Server" - may I ask where it is hosted? I see no update for PA so I have no idea about the infrastructure - where did the fix take place? Despite audio being streamed inside home LAN, does CC still need to communicate with a remote server?

Yes, see previous replies on this subject. Chromecast needs to phone home to its Google mothership. Local music content doesn't go via the internet though, that is passed directly from your phone to the Chromecast IP address on your LAN.

Squeller Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) OK, sigh... need to check how tolerant CC is, in case there is no internet connection. There are times, for me it is now, where you realize how easily and quickly you may lose internet/digital based services and assets. It's all worth a shit after all. E. g. a small example: Google/Steam kicks you out, because you live on the wrong spot on earth. Edited March 17, 2022 by Squeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 @Squeller As indicated above, Chromecast devices apparently need an internet connection to Google by design, even when the task will be a local LAN stream. If you unplug your router so there is no WAN, CC playback cannot be started. One of the compromises of a connected world I guess. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you unplug your router so there is no WAN, CC playback cannot be started. One of the compromises of a connected world I guess. If it is very strict (I will test it), rather one of the results of abuse of power. Look, Steam. They still have an offline scenario in mind. You can play your games when offline. It's just reasonable. EDIT: With no internet access for CCA, in my testing, you cannot connect to CCA at all. Here's an explanation: https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/8srkn3/comment/e11v5md/ "Just to make it completely clear - Chromecasts are running slightly modified Chrome browsers in kiosk mode. "apps" are HTML5 web pages. Whether you are watching video on a video Chromecast or listening to audio on an audio Chromecast - the Chromecast is just opening a specific webpage (which is gets pointed to by Google when it says to Google - "I have been asked to launch this app <appid>" and Google responds - sure that's at "https://developer-site.com/clients/chromecast/chromecast-audio.html") directly from the internet on the app developers server, this means that when the app developer makes a change, fixes a bug or adds new functionality - it is instantly available to all devices.

andrewilley Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 @Squeller Yes, Max's post was a TL;DR of that. Chromecast is a Google device, and needs to contact Google to get the 'app' details that it needs to run in its 'browser'. So yes Google could break it at any time if they chose to do so. Same goes for quite a lot of smart tech these days. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeller Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Well, after all, for local streaming there's BT as a fallback, I don't like it too much but hey... I must say WIFI solutions outside of CC realm suck. May need internet as well, their own apps, etc. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotleyG Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 You can always use a device that supports local uPnP if that is desired. That would avoid the CCA external involvement and likely has better connectivity in your local environment as well. But that it dependent on what devices you have and if they support uPnP.

Jessie Anna Vranken Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I'm lost in this topic 🤷♀️ From one page to the next the posts went from broken to solved for everyone 😅 Am I missing the post that states the solution or...?

There is no required solution in terms of local updates for users. It was a central server-based setting that was causing the problem, and it was resolved for everyone when Max updated the server.

mattwillmart Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Strange that I am still facing this issue today. Have restarted my phone and my Harman Kardon Citation One and it doesn't seem to have helped. Trying to cast to the several other Google Cast devices in my house displays the same behavior. Wonder what I'm doing wrong. Other apps that support this (Spotify for example) are working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_broco Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) @andrewilley * I am able to click "cast" in Power Amp * Power Amp thinks it is casting (allows to click stop, to control volume) * But there is no "Ding" connection sound from Chrome Cast speaker as usual, and no output from Chrome Cast speaker * After ~ 30-secs - 1 minute, Power Amp disconnects from Chrome Cast Audio, and Chrome Cast Audio makes a disconnection "Dong". This started happening this morning. All other "castable" apps working fine Edited May 30, 2022 by Don_broco Changed audio to speaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
