| Summary | 0018860: Ability to auto re-connect during casting (once connection is lost temporarily) | ||||
| Description | User from ticket # 3681 observes occasional lost connection issues to his Chromecast device. After such a lost connection he needs to manualy restart playback/casting. We should try to implement mechanism to do this automatically. i.e. to re-new the connection and continue playback whenever the casting wa in PLAYING state before the connection issue. | ||||

Partially implemented in 5.0.3.2609 (SVN revision 39425), more to be done... |
|
|
Fixed in 5.0.3.2609 i.e. once the connection is lost then after 20 seconds the "'The %s player is turned off or inaccessible.'" toast message is shown. if the device is turned on again (or the connection available again) then it is auto-connected after another 20 seconds and playback continues (otherwise the toast message keeps showing). |
|
|
Verified 2609 It works for 20s Only thing I would improve is to Lower it to 5-10s and if it fail for 3-4 times recheck every 20-30s. Also would change Toast MSG to "'The %s player is turned off or inaccessible. Reconnecting in 20s'" Maybe adding as new bug? |
|
|
Note that there used to be 10 seconds in the past, but 10 seconds timeout was too low, as in some environments the device has not replied for 15 seconds for some reason and then continued replying -- 0016671 So current trying to re-connect every 20 seconds is all right IMO. |
|
|
New log from ticket [Ticket # 3681] shown that it may still stuck on "buffering" for auto-converted files when playback is starting (and was not started yet). In that case the "auto-reconnect" feature fails. => Fixed in 2612 |
|
|
Verified 2616 Test note: Bit harder to replicate (1/5 tries) and verify. I used 2610 for replicating and 2616 for testing |
