| Summary | 0014645: Chromecast audio not as streaming option | ||||
| Description | User is saying that "Chromecast audio" doesn't appear as a streaming option. Reported as http://forum.mediamonkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89308&p=442941#p442933 | ||||
| Additional Information | We will probably need to switch the discovery protocol from DIAL over SSDP to mDNS.

By the info provided by user (at http://forum.mediamonkey.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89308&p=442941#p442977 ) it seems that SSDP discovery really isn't working for Chromecast audio anymore (with 1.28.x release). We will need to switch the discovery method to mDNS, also for the manual addition the link http://192.168.1.100:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml returns 404, we will need to use http://192.168.1.100:8008/setup/eureka_info?options=detail JSON instead |

mDNS discovery implemented in 2090 (currently we use both methods - SSDP and mDNS for discovering Google cast devices) |
|
|
Re-opened, because I've just found that my solution works only when Apple's Bonjour is installed. |
|
|
Implemented mDNS discovery using Indy in 2090 |
|
|
Verified 2090 No regressions on Nexus Player |

Re-opened: 1) A user still indicate that it isn't working for him: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89308&e=1&view=unread#p445498 2) The new mDNS discovery method can cause crash for some users (even without Chromecast on network): #IAN-428-42013 and http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89817&start=15 |

2) Is fixed in 2108 |
|
|
1) User Davo confirmed that he can see and stream to "Chromecast Audio" now: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=89308&e=1&view=unread#p445560 |

Works for me in 2108. |

Re-opened, in some environments it still fails to detect Chromecast audio and Google Home mini (ticket CJN-272-65378). Workaround for some users was clicking the cast icon in MM5 and then immediatelly the cast icon in Chrome browser.

|
|
Finally resolved and confirmed the fix via ticket CJN-272-65378 => fixed in 2220 |
|
|
Closing no further problems reported and no regressions found with detecting Chromecast capable devices. |
