Announce: CastBridge = integrate Chromecast players with LMS (squeeze2cast)

[philippe_44]

I've added the "stable" repository, and loaded 0.1.1.0.

CCA is found and is in player list (dropdown).

I select CCA, and load an album of 10 tracks, the first track plays to end, but the progress bar (webgui) gets to the end before track finishes, and goes to next track, when the first track audio finishes I get no more audio, it doesn't advance to the next track, but the progress bar advances to xxx seconds then resets to 0:00 and advances to xxx seconds etc.. This is repeatable.

Log attached.

Have you tried to erase the config file ?

No, are you suggesting I should?

[philippe_44]

No, are you suggesting I should?

Yes please - I'been lookign carefully and found a few cases where I could improve some of the handling of play/pause states, but nopthing that would explain what you see

Well I erased the config file but it's behaving exactly the same.

Please note my CCA works perfectly when connected to v0.1.1.0-dev-2 on my Win10 PC, played non-stop for ~8 hours today.

I can't understand why I only get headers on your dev repository URL.

Enable logging for plugin.extension and server.plugins to INFO will give info as to what is going on and may indicate the problem.

Just to be sure, the problem with 0.1.1.0 'stable' also happens on the Win10 PC, right ? not another platform ?

Don't know what else to try.

Gone midnight here, need to sleep.

I'm a bit clueless with what's happening here - I've made a version 0.1.1.1 in dev with a bit more traces (leave debug settings to "none", this is good enough at that time) to try to investigate.

[edit]: wrt dev repository, there was a mistake in one of my update build scripts - sorry for that.

[edit2]: if by any chance, you were trying the dev-2 on the Windows machine and the stable on the Pi, then I think I got it: there was a build mistake in the ARMv6, x86-64 and OSX version that caused the connection to be terminated randomly (but very often)

WRT [edit 2], yes, that's exactly how it was.

All 3 of my LMS systems (PC, Laptop & Pi) updated to 0.1.1.1, without problem.

Chromecast is working great on all systems.

Many thanks.



Thanks

[TurnipMan]

Works for me too

0.1.1.1 works well for me now too. Previous versions broke once you pressed pause etc.
Keep up the good work.

0.1.1.1 seems to be working well on my 10+ year old server running XP Thanks for all the work!

By the way, any chance SmartMix will work with the Chromecast plugin?

[adamslim]

Well I've just enabled the plugin within the 3rd party plugins section, popped in a couple of settings and it's going! Less than five minutes, and the CCA is playing a flac from my library. Great stuff, many thanks!

I don't know well the SmartMix plugin - does it expect something special from the player ? If not, the Chromecast Bridge is just seen as a squeezelite item

Well, I'm not sure. It just comes up with "No Item" if I longpress a song and chooses either "Song Mix" or "Artist Mix". Maybe it's something in my LMS that's wrong. Anybody that got the Smart Mix to work through the Chromecast plugin?
