Summary	0015967: Chromecast Playback stops periodically (fix with new CC libraries)
Description	With build 866 running on Android 10, if playback is output to the chromecast, then it stops periodically (e.g. after 30 minutes)--I think it was upon completion of the track. Here's a debug log from when this happened a week ago: Log ID: NRVGHK157U Description: Chromecast playback stopped Another one from when I just replicated it (after 'Moby - Then it fell apart'): Log ID: HCKTCEHF86 Description: Chromecast playback stopped And a third one that shows what happens immediately afterwards i.e. 1 Press Play / Next --> playback doesn't resume 2 Press 'Stop Chromecasting', and then press Play --> playback resumes Log ID: 4NC7C1Z93H Description: multiple attempts to restart Chromecast playback fail. playback only resumes once Stop Chromecast is clicked. Note also the issue isn't track specific--I confirmed this as follows: - I played the track by Moby - It fell apart' without chromecasting enabled, and playback didn't stop. - I then played the track again with chromecasting enabled, and playback didn't stop.

martin 2019-09-23 11:50 developer ~0054793	I can see "Could not send response to the client" in your logs. It looks like chromecast device stoped working in this case. My experience is that chromecast devices are quite unstable sometimes and MMA is not able to fix all weird situation. Tested with my chromecast and after 2 hours MMA is still playing. Also MMA 2.0 will have to migrate to newest androidX libraries, which replaces the original support library APIs. So another deep testing of chromecast will be requiered with 2.0 version.

Playback to CC Group: 2 auto-crashlogs + 1 manual log: R7UA53MVQQ Playback to individual CC: 1 auto-crashlog + 1 manual log: 5KSQXBQMR3 Crash on chromecast activation (no playback): 1 auto-crashlog + 1 manual log: TA1FHMMCMD These crashes do not occur with this build on an S8 running Android 9 or a Nexus 5x running Android 8, so it must be something specific to Android 10.

peke 2021-04-18 20:35 developer ~0062873	New logs supplied in Ticket # 1064 I tried on all Android devices I had from OS 6.0.1 -> 9.1 and could not replicate each device cast various file types and MM5 DLNA tracks and I got no interruptions.
