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

[pete105]

Try to get a reproducible "track not advancing event", these are the easiest for me to fix as I have a lot of log options when it happens

Okay thanks Philippe, I will do.

I spoke too soon. I experienced another bridge crash mid-track today (at 14:29) and I gathered a log file. Is it worth me sending this to you Philippe, or would you like me to proceed with setting up the Pi and running the bridge from there?

I have the same problem, even after having the firewall prompt to make an exception (which I agreed to) but it's made no change for me. Which log file did you delete - castbridge-log.log?

For the record (hopefully this may help others) this was nothing to do with the plugin, but a setting on my network switch called "Auto DoS". This Denial Of Service protection also, it seems, prevents the scanning of networks by CastBridge looking for Chromecast players, and also for that matter stops Squeezeboxes detecting the Logitech Media Server.

I figured this out when I found that a Squeezebox Receiver would configure from factory default over Wi-Fi, but not wired Ethernet.

Thanks for a great plugin!

Hi Phillipe - I've noticed that my Chromecast Audio has stopped advancing to the next track, not sure exactly when this started but I've attached a log.

It just plays the first track in the queue repeatedly until you stop it - doesn't crash, and doesn't seem to affect other Chromecast devices ( regular Chromecast and Nest Mini both working fine )

If you need any more info left me know

Cheers
Steve

I don't know then. Can you set additional debugging to "none". That's too much log for now

Thanks for looking Philippe - here's a shorter log & updated config file
